Judge Fleming’s Court.
Last week, the city brought suit against
R. T, Hewitt, charging him with selling
liquor without a license, the last X l of
the year 1897. Hewitt claimed that he
had the consent of the Mayor, who grant¬
ed it because Hewitt was short of funds
and was expecting to leave the city, soon,
and would then pay the fractional part he
might owe. His Att’y (Way) took the
ground that the city officers had no right
to prosecute a party whom they, them¬
selves, had aided in violating the law,
and that his client had gone on doing bus¬
iness. openly, after the conference witty
the Mayor, and that the charge should
have been brought while the violation;
was being committed—the conversation 1
with the Mayor having taken place iiv
November. Ryman, for the city, insisted 1
that Hewitt knew the law and had violat-*
ea it, and, more than that, he showed poor
policy to come in and throw blame on the'
man who had befriended him. Judge
Fleming fined him $o2.50 and costs.
Later, we learn that Hewitt appealed
his case on the ground that $50 was the
amount of license he should have paid,,
and that he(Hewitt) was made to pay $200
for license, while Sivift got his license for
$133.33.
