"It came to my attention that when there came about the crimes and punishments of unlawful acts occured, the guard had at the time a vague notion of what punishment was for what, or rather there was a conditional sentencing. While this I think is a good stance on things, for petty or civil crimes that might be filled with bias and perhaps not the law. Rather, it would be a headache and also a distraction from the guard from their original intentions of security and higher crimes like murder." Garnett at this point gestured with a hand.
"An idea simply came forth for just a position for dealing with said minor crimes, so that when such incidents are put forth there is both a person with the clear understanding of the law along with also having it on their person, let's it be done with quickly." He frowns mildly, in thought. "I am not suggesting a magistrate of course, as I am both a foreigner of this land and new to this post. But with that same merit I am unbiased to the local politics and come from a land that saw fairly even ruling of the place, and would like to assist as I can to giving a balanced scale if petty theft or disputes arise. I do have skills in both the work of a scribe as well to put forth to this idea, and have been enlisted into the Arcane Sanctum if there was a worry of my absence for lack of investment."
