In the period under consideration we find the term "justice of the peace and quorum. " In some com- missions the words "and quorum" did not appear. The difference was that for certain purposes a justice of the peace and quorum was required, and that a justice simply of the quorum exercised notorial rather than judicial duties. The distinction is no longer made.

The Assembly was constantly striving to make them as effective and as useful to the colony as possible. 1 Pub. Rec. S. C, MS. , XXXI. , 80.
