The new'statute, wbich becamne ef- fective on juIy 9, provides a pena1ty of fine or imprisonmient for such vio- lations >as failing to give the proper. iand signal when making a turn, slow- ing down or coming to a stop, pars- ing 'a "stop" sign, and other. infringe- ments heretofore considered as minor violations. This, it is contended, takes adjudication of such offenses out of the h ands of local; police magistratesý and justices of the peace, and limits their jurisdàiction'to mere pfliininary hearings, in which the accused, on. evidence of guilt, must be bound over to the grand jury for its careful andi unhurried consideration.

It was delib-ý erately written into the Iaw to take the trial of motorists away froni the justices'of the peace and police magis- trates." To local officiais those -words
