Under the commission Post Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 6:08:10 +0000
The ancient pie-powder (or dusty-foot) Courts acted in this summary manner, but all modern authority to deal summarily with litigation re on statute, or on rules made under statutory authority, such as those regulating originating summonses in the High Court. The Legislature has been specially lavish in the grant of summary jurisdiction to justices of the peace, as the most widespread and accessible judicial functionaries. Under the commission of the peace the justices have no judicial authority out of sessions (Kitchen Shaw, 1837, 6 Ad E 729 : GuUen Trimble, 1872, 1 Q B 716), except that now regulated by the Indictable Offences Act, 1848, of arresting offenders and committing them for trial See li:- secution.

Town Government Post Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 6:21:03 +0000
By a long series of Acts, beginning with the Statute of Labourers, they have acquired authority to deal with many matters out of sessions, some of an administrative, some of a judicial character. Their purely administrative powers have for the most part been trans- ferred to urban or rural District Councils and County Councils. Town Government.

But they retain authority to grant licences for the sale of intoxicants, and in certain urban districts for the sanction of public music and dancing. See Public Entertainments. Their judicial functions, out of Quarter Sessions, are usually described as the summary jurisdiction of justices, i.

The s Acts Post Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 6:43:24 +0000
E authority to hear and determine informations about petty offences, or complaints about civil matters, without referring the matters for decision to a Court of Record. After sundry prior attempts in 1879 (42 43 Vict C 49, s 50) and 1884 (47 48 Vict C 43, s 7) to define Court of summary jurisdiction, it was in 1889 (52 53 Vict C 63, s 13 (11)) defined as any justice or justices of the peace or other magistrate, by whatever name called, to whom jurisdiction is given by, or who is authorised to act under, the Summary Jurisdiction Acts when in England or Wales, and whether acting under the s Acts or any other, or under any other Act or by virtue of his commission, or under the common law. The s Acts are the s Act, 1848 (11 12 Vict C 43), the s Act, 1879 (42 43 Vict C 49), and any Act, past or future, amending either of these Acts (52 53 Vict C 63, s 13 (7)).

This decision has had Post Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 6:58:23 +0000
It was for some time considered that the wide definition of the Court covered all, or almost all, the sittings of justices at which evidence was taken. But this view was declared erroneous in In re Boidter, [1898] App Cas 556 so far as related to proceedings for the grant, or renewal, or transfer of liquor licences. This decision has had the result of introducing a diversity of pro- cedure as to costs and on appeals, which had been got rid of by the reversed decisions, and of causing serious doubts as to the mode of challenging by certiorari, mandamus, prohibition, special case, or otherwise the decisions of licensing justices {E Sharman, [1898] 1 Q B 578 ; E Bowman, [1898] 1 Q B 663).

This does not exclude Post Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 7:11:38 +0000
The decision also throws some doubt on the position of justices who grant distress warrants to recover rates, who were at one time regarded as acting ministerially, but since 1892 had been treated as being a Court of summary jurisdiction {Fourth City, etc, Building Society East Ham Churchwardens, etc, [1892] 1 Q B 661). (1) In respect of acts done within the district for which the justices are commissioned and acting, i E the county or borough, and not merely the Petty Sessional Division, unless the statute limits jurisdiction by reference to it {Johnson Uolam, 1875, 10 Q B 544). This does not exclude the jurisdiction of county justices in a borough unless it has both a separate commission of the peace and a Court of Quarter Sessions (9 Geo.

This question is, however, still Post Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 7:24:16 +0000
I C 7, s 3 ; 45 46 Vict C 50, s 154). Detached portions of counties are now treated as lying in the county in which they are included for parliamentary elections, and alterations of a county under the Local Government Acts appear to apply to judicial proceedings. This question is, however, still (July 1898) being litigated.
