The North Dakota constitution (1913), Sec. 112, reads: “The legislative assembly shall have power to abolish the office of justice of the peace and confer that jurisdiction upon judges of county courts or elsewhere.” The Massachusetts constitution (1780) contains provisions with reference to tenure of office (Ch. 111, Art. iii) and removals (Amends., Art. XXXVII) of justices of the peace, and nothing more. On jurisdiction, see 3 Pick. (Mass.), 508 (1827).
