Will you please give me your legal opinion as to whether or not, has a Justice of the Peace authority to order the arrest of a party for Contempt except when sitting in his Judicial capacity - Also in the event the County Court and the Justice Court should be in session at the same time, which Court does the law require the Sheriff to wait upon -
