What the law requires of constables
was clearly set forth by Judge Bregy,

the following section of the law on the

respective wards, boroughs or town
ships in each county shall, in the first
week of each term of the Court of
Quarter Sessions, make returns, under
oath, of all places in his bailiwick
where vinous, spirituous, malt or
brewed liquors or admixtures thereof
are kept tor sale or sold, except stores
kept by druggists or apothecaries, stat
ing which of said places are licensed
under this act and which are unlicens
ed, and it shall be the special duty of
the Judge of said Court to see that
this return is faithfully made. And
on the failure of any constable to
comply with this provision, or if it be
found upon examination or inquiry by
said Court that any constable has
either wilfully or negligently omitted
to return all such houses and the
names of the proprietors thereof in his
bailiwick, he shall be guilty of wilfully
and negligently making a false return,
and the Court shall suspend him from
office and direct the District Attorney
to indict and try the said officer, and
if found guilty he shall be fined in a
sum not exceeding $500 and undergo
an imprisonment, either simple or soli
tary, not exceeding two years, both or
either, in the discretion of the Court.
