Syllabus

<p>Justice’s Precinct — Election Precinct — Election of Justice of Peace. ■</p> <p>1. Subdivision 2, section 1759, Revised Statutes of 1887, and section 11, page 61, Session Laws of 1891, require the board of county commissioners to divide their county into justice’s precincts.</p> <p>2. Subdivision 3 of said section 1759 requires such board to establish election precincts in their county and while a justice’s precinct may include one or more election precincts, an election precinct cannot include more than one justice’s precinct.</p> <p>3. In a county where the board has failed, in terms, to establish justice’s precincts, but have designated all precincts established as election precincts, and such precincts are treated as justice’s precincts, and two justices of the peace and one constable are elected therein, such precincts will be held to be justice’s precincts as well as election precincts.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the court.)</p>
