Tbe petitioner iu tue case cit ed la a black man and tbe cby ordi nance refered to ia one, of tue many avhemea in the South to get tbe black man a labor for , nothing. Tbe oaee, as staled In the Law Notes for August 1904, ia given below.., Iu the District Court of the United Slatea for the western divisiun of the southern die'rlot of beorgia, Jud'-e Emory Hpeer, In tbe case of Jamison v Wimbieb, on a writ of habeas corpus, paased upon tbe legality if a s-nteuoe by a police magistrate to a term of bard labor on a local cbaiugang for a petty munioipul offense. Iu the Be corder'a court of the city of Macon, lia., on March 14, IBM, tbe petitioner wee oharged with tuyiog been d unk an. disorderly, and it waa ordered that be pay a fine ut twenty five dollars or iu default thereof be committed to the county cbaingang for ninety days. On tbe same day be waa oharged with dia orderly coodnetin the barracks, and it waa ordered that be pay a fine of th r- ty Ore dollars or in dt fault thereof be oommittsd to the eounty obaingang for 120 days, to begin at the expiration of the ninety days la the previous oase The principal authority for this vigor ous scheme of municipal penology, as the opinion oharaoteriees it, la section 49 of tbe oharter of the city of Macou, Georgia Laws 1803, p 257. This pro videatbak the recorder of raid city "ball have the power to Impose Ones tor tbe violation of any law or ordi nance of the olty of Macon passed in accord anoe with its charter, to an a- monot not to exceed $500, to imprison otfendera In tbe oiiy barracks for the space of not mora than aixty days) or at labor on the publio .works .In ' tbe onunty cl alogong far not . more than aix montba." . Neither tbe cbarUr of Maeun ear any other enactment by the by jury-in thia uurt-lhulMiiai mi the district court was rendered on June 28, 1904 Tho question involved was whether the recorder of Macon could, without any sort of criminal pleading, and without the intervention of a jury, oonvict a citizen twice for one violation of a uiinor municipal or dinance and sentence him to seven months at hard labor on the public uliaingang, tbe punishment to be suff ered in a branch of the Btate peniten tlary. That an order of the recorder direotlng that a person shall serve a term in tbe county obaingang is a sen tence to infamous punishment was con aidered settled by the ca e of Ex p Wi'son, 114 U. S. 417, in which it waa held that whether or not a crime li in lamma must duiHud upon tbe question wbslbea, by the statute defluing it, an infamous puuUhmeLt can be awarded, in the course of the osin.on . in whi.'b case the court said : "For more than a century imprisonment at bur l la1 or in j toe state prison i t peuitsntiary, or other aimilur institution, has b en considered at. infamous puuishnient in England and America." It was held that such a sentence us that irapneed upon the petitioner by the recorder of M aeon, by virtue of tho provision . nf tbe city charter, whs a denrlvat'nn of the petitioner's liberty ' without dun prooejs of law lit the vour.e of en elaborate opinion, Judge Sneer Slid: "It may be with er.tire ao-uracy de olared tbe volumiuoua and exhaus'lve preparation of the city attorney, and tbe subsequent - examination by ' tii oourt, has evoked no shred of author ity, either Aineriran or Englleb, where a sentence for petty olFeii"e, bv a p lice magistrate, to a public elmingang, with the ignominious accessories o fetters, the trices, lash, and of the degradation of convict . life, has been sustained or even pall'.nted.' U :der tbe Aroerl.au system tbe cbaiuang baa no place in the jurisdiction and procedure of polit e oourt where trial by jury la not a riulit of the accused."
