الصفحة 173 - Judicial offices, in point of duration ; and that so far from being blamable on this account, their plan would have been inexcusably defective, if it had wanted this important feature of good Government. The experience of Great Britain affords an illustrious comment on the excellence of the institution.
الصفحة 176 - The judges of the Supreme Court of Errors, of the superior and inferior courts, and all justices of the peace, shall be appointed by the General Assembly, in such manner as shall by law be prescribed.
الصفحة 175 - All judicial officers, duly appointed, commissioned, and sworn, shall hold their offices during good behavior, excepting such concerning whom there is different provision made in this constitution: provided, nevertheless, the governor, with consent of the council, may remove them upon the address of both houses of the legislature.
