Opinion
On an affidavit stating that Joseph Bowling, a constable, had dismissed a peace warrant, and had received for his services $1.62, THE COURT suspended him from office, and ordered a rule to be laid on him to show-cause why an attachment of contempt should not issue. CRANCH, Circuit Judge, contra, because the charge was uncertain and ex parte, — no notice having been given.
