CAP. VIII.

An ACT to amend the Act for the appointment of Town or Parish Officers in the several Counties in this Province.

Passed 19th March, 1833.

 
WHEREAS the punishment provided in the Act made and passed in the twenty sixth year of the reign of King George the Third, intituled "An Act for the appointment of Town or Parish officers in the several Counties in this Province," has not been found sufficient to prevent constables from misbehaviour and neglect of duty in the execution of their offices;

Justices in Sessions may dismiss Constables and appoint others in their stead.

 

 

 
Be it therefore enacted by the Lieutenant Governor, Council, and Assembly, That in addition to the penalty in the said Act prescribed for misbehaviour or neglect of duty of any constable appointed or hereafter to be appointed under and by virtue of the said Act, in any Parish or Town of any County in this Province, it shall and may be lawful for the Justices of the Peace for the several Counties of this Province, at any of their General or Special Sessions, to dismiss any constable theretofore appointed by them from his office, for any misbehaviour or neglect of duty therein, and appoint any other person whom they may think proper, in the room and stead of such offending constable.
