of Attorney (fcnernl Ilrown, lu reply
to a query from W. M. Duncan, dis
trict attorney for that county, UBklng
whether or not a Justice of tho peace

payment of same, Is required to serve
n sentenco in tho couuty Jail, during
tho period of such sentence he shall
be under the exclusive and absolute,
control of tho county court and may
bo required to work upon the public
roads of tho county."
