Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court November 26, 1902 (Commonwealth v. Posson)

Lathrop, J.

The two questions which the defendant seeks to raise in this case are whether a complaint to a District Court can be sworn to before a clerk pro tempore of that court; and whether, if it can be so sworn to, the clerk pro tempore can issue the warrant of the court, as was done in this case, or should issue his own warrant.
