At the regular term of court, Con- stable W. H. Runkle, of Centre Hall borough, if his previous intentions as announced were carried out, falled to report drunkenness within the bo- rough limits, which is his plain duty. The constable had committed himself to do so, but later, as he tells the story, he took advice from individuals, who, if their names were mentioned here, would be much humiliated, The question hr been raised that the Reporter was in ignorance a3 to the duties of constabl-s with respect to reporting drunkenncss in their respec tive bailiwicks. After quoting a por- tion of a few ac's of swembly, the Re porter will rest its case with its readers, and especially those in Centre Hall who are affected, to decide whether or not ity cinim Is based on good grounds, Let it be said first that ther: is no disputing the fact that. there was drunkenness, sud that the men, ina drunken condition, emerged from the Centre Hal hotel, The peotacie wes observed by many. Act No. 10], approved the 41h das of June, 1897, by Daniel H Hastings, contains this provision : * Constables, in addition to the powers already conferred upon them shall and may, without warrant ry upon view, arrest and commit for bearing all persons gulity of a breach of the peace, vagrancy, riotous or die- orderly conduct or drunkenness, . . ."' It will be observed that under this act the constable can arrest only upon view, that is, he must see the violation being committed. If, however, the constable cloees his eycs and purposely refuses to ‘ view ”” violations of thie act, the constable himself is guilty of neglect of duty. Act No. 53, approved by James A, Beaver, May 13, 1887, entitled ** an act to restrain and regulate the sale of vinous and spiritous, malt or brewed liquors, or any sdmixtures thereof,” contains ip section eleven, thee clauses : “ ( oustables shall, in the first week in each term of court of quarter ses- sions, make returns, under oath, of all places in his bailiwick where vinous, spiritous, malt or brewed liquors , sresold. . . . And on failure of an constable to comply with this prov sion . . . he shal: be guilty of wiifully or negligently making a false return, and the court shall suspend him from office, and direct the district attoruey to indict ahd try said officer, and if found gulity he shall be fined in a sum pot exereding five hundred dollars and undergo an imprisonment, either sim- ple or solitary, not exceeding two years, both or either, in the discretion of the court.” The following section js the one that covers the case, and is reprinted in full, ** Section 12. It shall be the duty of each constable in the county to visit, at least once in each month, all places within their respective jurisdictions, where any of sald liquors are sold or kept, to ascertain if any of the provi. sions df this or any act of Assembly relating to the sale or furnishing of such liquors have been or are being vio , and WHSHSVSE any of the of- floers above men SHALL LEARN of any such violation, it shall be his duly to forthwith make written returns cf the same to the court of quarter s “sions, with the names of the witnesses, and to do whatever shall be in his power to bring the offender to justice ; and u on any neglect or refusal of any of sa d officers to performn the aforesaid duty the said court shall impose the same penalties provided in section eleven of this act.” Particular attention is called to the two words in capitals, upon which the whole case is based. It is not neces sary for the constable to see a man buy liquor, or to see him drink it. Drunk. enness in itself is a violation, and it is also a violation to sell sufficient liquor to a man to cause him to become in- toxicated. The constable had knowl- edge of the drunken condition of the men in question, and he also had knowledge that the men in that cone dition emerged from the Centre Hall hotel, Further, the only reason the con- stable did not view the whole affair was because of a wall, Conscious of his duty, the constable expressed a willingness to report the violation to the court, but upon the advice of attorneys, according to the constable’ own story, he did not per- form duty, Now, all attorneys are eourt officers, and no farther comment on this need Colyer.
