John Campbell is New Constable (1876)

John CAMPBELL, our new Constable is a man of first class business qualification, and will make the best officer this district has ever had. He is one of those officers if you put papers in his hands they are executed at once. He will not hold up papers in order to let guilty parties escape, or let some fellow leave the country with his property whom there is an execution against.
