STATE LAWS. 



Kr. H. L. Given, district attorney for Trinity 

 County, gave a talk relative to the Gtat* fire laws and the 

 State fish and ga'ne laws, and tho procedure theroundor. 



An offender must be triod in the to-mshlp in which 

 offense ia cOnraitted, even though a Jxistioe of the neaco 

 in r.n adjoining townr;hip or county IB olowrr at hand. Under 

 r.r circunotanceo should he be taMen for trial out of the 

 county in which the offenso was e.rnanitted. Thorc are fivo 

 -mhips in Trinity County, corresponding to the five eu'per- 

 vi'ioral" districts. The Justices of the peace within Trinity 



County are as follows: 



Supervisopal Dlstriot, 



H. F. CJoffman, Oarrville, 1 



H. D. B.rt:tr, T7c averville, 2 

 Jai'ios FJ. Dockery, Hayfork,

 within tho county in which tho off^nsn was committed. In tho 

 case cf arrests in nuporvisoral district JTo. 4 where thor 

 in no local Justice, tho prisoner should be brought to t 

 Justice in ,7oaverville.
