The office of Ch. Justice

in Commission, having three members. But by the ordinance

of 1845 it is provided

(sec. 5.) that in case

of the temporary illness or absence of the Chief Justice, it shall be

competent for the Governor

to appoint another

"fit and proper person"

to fill the office.

Unless modified by some subsequent

239

enactment of which

I am

unaware, this

provision would seem

to authorise the

appointment of a

Commission.
