Section 57

SEC. 57. Assessors in justice courts; how Hhosen. — Within the first week of January of each year, the president and municipal council of each municipality shall prepare a list of residents of the municipality best fitted by education, natural ability, and reputation for probity, to sit as assessors in the trial of actions in courts of justice of the peace. Such list shall contain not less than ten and not more than twenty-five names, and shall be made in duplicate, one copy to remain in the hands of the municipal secretary and the other in the office of the justice of the peace. The name of any person may be stricken from the list, at any time, upon the order of a majority of the municipal council, upon its being made to appear that the name ought to be stricken out, by reason of the death, permanent disability, or unfitness of the person named; and in case names are so stricken out other names shall be added in their place, to be selected as in this section provided.
