A VERDICT of .conviction having been rendered against nte in the £ bofo enlltlod case, ami Maving been see. lenced to an imprisonment of one Lour, nnd a fine of five dollars, I deem it a duty I owe to niy jjierids, as well as myself, to lay liofore the public a fuir and Impaiiinl history'of-lhe Ease... One of the nhjecli I Itave ill view is, to satisfy my friends at a distance, that litis prosecution and convict tion grew out of nu morel impropriety on my pnrt. . < i r, In tho year 1820, I obtained from the Coipnrntion of tlie Olfiy of Savannalt, s license" to 1 etail Spirituous liquors al my store, in any quantity ; and under sail l.y virtue of an ordinance of (he City Council nf Savannah, passoil in October, HIT, »|. lowing "sliopketpere to keep open tltri) shops until 0 0’c.hicki A;M. every Surdajr morning,” as other stiopkeepers did, 1 kept open my Moro until that hour outliemntn* ing'or Sunday, being the 11 lit Nnvcmlxr, 1887, Ever since the passage of said or* Alliance, nnd down tn the present poriod, the .shopkeepers of tills city, under tin sanction of llte City Council, have hurt soiling, retailing, end keeping open their shops until 0 o-’clbck on Sunday morning, (t teas, ehd Is.’a'pracllee openly rauiea np.'and never, Until this prosecution, quet* tioped. .

This act, it will If perceived, was passed two months posieriof- to the ordinance of the City Council; and though it is now contended that tiro ordi* nance conflicts.with the Stale law. and must yjeld to it, yet this has cseaped ill Vigilance, until now, of all the public if thnriiics of tlie city and county. .
