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.
