From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
OFFICE. An office is a right to exercise a public function or employment,
and to take the fees and emoluments belonging to it,. Shelf. on Mortm. 797;
Cruise, Dig. Index, h.t.; 3 Serg. & R. 149.
2. Offices may be classed into civil and military.
3.-1. Civil offices may be classed into political, judicial, and
ministerial.
4.-1. The political offices are such as are not connected immediately
with the administration of justice, or the execution of the mandates of a
superior officer; the office of the president of the United States, of the
heads of departments, of the members of the legislature, are of this number.
5.-2. The judicial offices are those which relate to the
administration of justice, and which must be exercised by persons of
sufficient skill and experience in the duties which appertain to them.
6.-3. Ministerial offices are those which give the officer no power
to judge of the matter to be done, and require him to obey the mandates of a
superior. 7 Mass. 280. See 5 Wend. 170; 10 Wend. 514; 8 Vern. 512; Breese,
280. It is a general rule, that a judicial office cannot be exercised by
deputy, while a ministerial may.
7. In the United, States, the tenure of office never extends beyond
good behaviour. In England, offices are public or private. The former affect
the people generally, the latter are such as concern particular districts,
belonging to private individuals. In the United States, all offices,
according to the above definition, are public; but in another sense,
employments of a private nature are also called offices; for example, the
office of president of a bank, the office of director of a corporation. For
the incompatibility of office, see Incompatibility; 4 S. & R. 277; 4 Inst.
100; Com. Dig. h.t., B. 7; and vide, generally, 3 Kent, Com. 362; Cruise,
Dig. tit. 25; Ham. N. P. 283; 16 Vin. Ab. 101; Ayliffe's Parerg. 395; Poth.
Traite des Choses, Sec. 2; Amer. Dig. h.t.; 17 S. & R. 219.
8.-2. Military offices consist of such as are granted to soldiers or
naval officers.
9. The room in which the business of an officer is transacted is also
called an office, as the land office. Vide Officer.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
OFFICE, INQUEST OF. An examination into a matter by an officer in virtue of
his office. Vide Inquisition.
From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) : [ bouvier ]
OFFICER. He who is lawfully invested with an office.
2. Officers may be classed into, 1. Executive; as the president of the
United States of America, the several governors of the different states.
Their duties are pointed out in the national constitution, and the
constitutions of the several states, but they are required mainly to cause
the laws to be executed and obeyed.
3.-2. The legislative; such as members of congress; and of the
several state legislatures. These officers are confined in their duties by
the constitution, generally to make laws, though sometimes in cases of
impeachment, one of the houses of the legislature exercises judicial
functions, somewhat similar to those of a grand jury by presenting to the
other articles of impeachment; and the other house acts as a court in trying
such impeachments. The legislatures have, besides the power to inquire into
the conduct of their members, judge of their elections, and the like.
4.-3. Judicial officers; whose duties are to decide controversies
between individuals, and accusations made in the name of the public against
persons charged with a violation of the law.
5.-4. Ministerial officers, or those whose duty it is to execute the
mandates, lawfully issued, of their superiors.
6.-5. Military officers, who have commands in the army; and
7.-6. Naval officers, who are in command in the navy.
8. Officers are required to exercise the functions which belong to
their respective offices. The neglect to do so, may, in some cases, subject
the offender to an indictment; 1 Yeates, R. 519; and in others, he will be
liable to the party injured. 1 Yeates, R. 506.
9. Officers are also divided into public officers and those who are not
public. Some officers may bear both characters; for example, a clergyman is
a public officer when he acts in the performance of such a public duty as
the marriage of two individuals; 4 Conn. 209; and he is merely a private
person when he acts in his more ordinary calling of teaching his
congregation. See 4 Conn. 134; 1 Apple. 155.
