United States Supreme Court
83 U.S. 479
Osborne v. Mobile
ERROR to the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama.
Osborne was the agent, at Mobile, Alabama, of the Southern Express Company, incorporated by the State of Georgia, and as such transacted a general forwarding and express business within and extending beyond the limits of Alabama.
An ordinance of the city of Mobile was then in force, requiring that every express company or railroad company doing business in that city, and having a business extending beyond the limits of the State, should pay an annual license of $500, which should be deemed a first-grade license; that every express or railroad company doing business within the limits of the State should take out a license called a second-grade license, and pay therefor $100; and that every such company doing business within the city should take out a third-grade license, paying therefor $50. It subjected any person or incorporated company who should violate any of its provisions to a fine not exceeding $50 for each day of such violation.
On the 10th of February, 1869, Osborne was fined by the mayor of Mobile for violating that ordinance in conducting the business of his agency without having paid the $500 and obtained the license required. He appealed to the Circuit Court of the State, which affirmed the judgment of the mayor. He then appealed to the Supreme Court of Alabama, and that court affirmed the judgment of the Circuit Court. A writ of error brought the case here.
The question was whether the ordinance, in requiring payment for a license to transact in Mobile a business extending beyond the limits of the State of Alabama, was repugnant to the provision of the Constitution, vesting in the Congress of the United States the power 'to regulate commerce among the several States.'
Messrs. B. R. Curtis and Clarence Seward, for the plainti f in error; Mr. P. Phillips, contra.
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.

# Parsons v. Venzke

United States Supreme Court
164 U.S. 89
Parsons v. Venzke
On July 25, 1892, the United States issued a patent for the land in controversy to Gustav Venzke, one of the defendants in error. The other defendants in error are his mortgagees. On January 11, 1883, one Willis B. Simpkins made a pre-emption entry of the land, and received a receiver's final receipt, the land at that time being public, and subject to pre-emption entry under the laws of the United States. On February 8, 1883, he conveyed the land to Charles J. Wolfe, through whom, by foreclosure of a mortgage, plaintiff in error acquired her title.
On September 26, 1884, W. W. McIlvain, a special agent of the land department of the United States, reported to the commissioner of the general land office at Washington, as the result of his investigations, that the pre-emption entry of Simpkins had been fraudulently and unlawfully made. Proceedings for an investigation of this charge were ordered before the local land officers. Notice was duly given by publication. Simpkins made no appearance, but the plaintiff in error appeared by attorneys. The investigation was carried on in the local land office, and thereafter in the general land office at Washington, and the proceedings reviewed by the secretary of the interior, the plaintiff in error being a party to all those proceedings. They resulted in a cancellation of the entry on the ground that it had been fraudulently and unlawfully made, and the land was restored to the public domain.
Thereafter Venzke took those proceedings which culminated in the patent, whereupon the plaintiff in error commenced this suit in the district court of Richland county, N. D., to have him charged as trustee of the legal titlle for her benefit. In that court a decree was entered in favor of the defendants, which, having been affirmed by the supreme court of the state (16 N. W. 1036), has been brought here on writ of error.
On March 3, 1891, congress passed an act (26 Stat. 1098), section 7 of which contains this provision:
'And all entries made under the pre-emption, homestead, desert-land, or timber culture laws, in which final proof and payment may have been made and certificates issued, and to which there are no advers claims originating prior to final entry and which have been sold or incumbered prior to the first day of March, eighteen hundred and eighty-eight, and after final entry, to bona fide purchasers, or incumbrancers, for a valuable consideration, shall, unless, upon investigation by a government agent, fraud on the part of the purchaser has been found, be confirmed and patented upon presentation of satisfactory proof to the land department of such sale or incumbrance.' Seth Newman, for plaintiff in error.
W. H. Standish, for defendants in error.
Mr. Justice BREWER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Parsons v. Wilkinson/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
113 U.S. 656
Parsons v. Wilkinson
The witness, according to his own testimony, had no recollection, either independently of the memoranda, or assisted by them, that he had filed a protest with the collector; did not know when he made the memorandum in pencil; made the memorandum in ink 20 months after the transaction, from the memorandum in pencil, and probably other memoranda, since destroyed and not produced, nor their contents proved; and his testimony that he did file the protest was based exclusively upon his having signed a statement to that effect 20 months afterwards, and upon his habit never to sign a statement unless it was true. Memoranda are not competent evidence by reason of having been made in the regular course of business, unless contemporaneous with the transaction to which they relate. Nicholls v. Webb, 8 Wheat. 326, 337; Insurance Co. v. Weide, 9 Wall. 677, and 14 Wall. 375; Chaffee v. U.S. 18 Wall. 516.
It is well settled that memoranda are inadmissible to refresh the memory of a witness, unless reduced to writing at or shortly after the time of the transaction, and while it must have been fresh in his memory. The memorandum must have been 'presently committed to writing,' Lord HOLT in Sandwell v. Sandwell, Comb. 445; S.C.. Holt, 295; 'while the occurrences mentioned in it were recent, and fresh in his recollection,' Lord ELLENBOROUGH in Burrough v. Martin, 2 Camp. 112; 'written contemporaneously with the transaction,' Chief Justice TINDAL in Steinkeller v. Newton, 9 Car. & P. 313; or 'contemporaneously or nearly so with the facts deposed to,' Chief Justice WILDE (afterwards Lord Chancellor TRURO) in Whitfield v. Aland, 2 Car. & K. 1015. See, also, Burton v. Plummer, 2 Adol. & E. 341; S.C.. 4 Nev. & Man. 315; Wood v. Cooper, 1 Car. & K. 645; Morrison v. Chapin, 97 Mass. 72, 77; Spring Garden Ins. Co. v. Evans, 15 Md. 54.
The reasons for limiting the time within which the memorandum must have been made are, to say the least, quite as strong when the witness, after reading it, has no recollection of the facts stated in it, but testifies to the truth of those facts only because of his confidence that he must have known them to be true when he signed the memorandum. Halsey v. Sinsebaugh, 15 N. Y. 485; Marcly v. Shults, 29 N. Y. 346, 355; State v. Rawls, 2 Nott & cC. 331; O'Neale v. Walton, 1 Rich. 234.
In any view of the case, therefore, the copy of the protest was erroneously admitted, because the memorandum in ink, which was the only one on which the witness relied, was made long after the transaction which it purported to state; and its admission requires that the judgment be reversed, and a new trial ordered.

# Our American Holidays - Christmas/The Glorious Song of Old

THE GLORIOUS SONG OF OLD
EDMUND H. SEARS
It came upon the midnight clear,  That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth  To touch their harps of gold, "Peace on the earth, good-will to men,  From heaven’s all-gracious King"— The world in solemn stillness lay  To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come.  With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats  O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains  They bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel-sounds  The blessed angels sing.
But with the woes of sin and strife  The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled  Two thousand years of wrong. And man at war with man hears not  The love-song which they bring; Oh, hush the noise, ye men of strife,  And hear the angels sing!
And ye beneath life's crushing load,  Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way  With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours  Come swiftly on the wing:— Oh, rest beside the weary road  And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days the hastening on  By prophet-bards foretold, When the ever-circling years  Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth  Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song  Which now the angels sing.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/The Knighting of the Sirloin

THE KNIGHTING OF THE SIRLOIN OF BEEF BY CHARLES THE SECOND
ANON
The Second Charles of England
 Rode forth one Christmas tide,
To hunt a gallant stag of ten,
 Of Chingford woods the pride.
The winds blew keen, the snow fell fast,
 And made for earth a pall,
As tired steeds and wearied men
 Returned to Friday Hall.
The blazing logs, piled on the dogs,
 Were pleasant to behold!
And grateful was the steaming feast
 To hungry men and cold.
With right good-will all took their fill,
 And soon each found relief;
Whilst Charles his royal trencher piled
 From one huge loin of beef.
Quoth Charles, "Odd's fish! a noble dish!
 Ay, noble made by me!
By kingly right, I dub thee knight—
 Sir Loin henceforward be!"
And never was a royal jest
 Received with such acclaim:
And never knight than good Sir Loin
 More worthy of the name.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/The Christmas Silence

THE CHRISTMAS SILENCE
MARGARET DELAND
Hushed are the pigeons cooing low
 On dusty rafters of the loft;
 And mild-eyed oxen, breathing soft,
Sleep on the fragrant hay below.
Dim shadows in the corner hide;
 The glimmering lantern's rays are shed
 Where one young lamb just lifts his head,
Then huddles 'gainst his mother's side.
Strange silence tingles in the air;
 Through the half-open door a bar
 Of light from one low-hanging star
Touches a baby's radiant hair.
No sound: the mother, kneeling, lays
 Her cheek against the little face.
 Oh human love! Oh heavenly grace!
'Tis yet in silence that she prays!
Ages of silence end to-night;
 Then to the long-expectant earth
 Glad angels come to greet His birth
In burst of music, love, and light!
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/The Christmas Holly

THE CHRISTMAS HOLLY
ELIZA COOK
The holly! the holly! oh, twine it with bay—
 Come give the holly a song;
For it helps to drive stern winter away,
 With his garment so sombre and long;
It peeps through the trees with its berries of red,
 And its leaves of burnished green,
When the flowers and fruits have long been dead,
 And not even the daisy is seen.
Then sing to the holly, the Christmas holly,
 That hangs over peasant and king;
While we laugh and carouse 'neath its glittering boughs,
 To the Christmas holly we'll sing.
The gale may whistle, the frost may come
 To fetter the gurgling rill;
The woods may be bare, and warblers dumb,
 But holly is beautiful still.
In the revel and light of princely halls
 The bright holly branch is found;
And its shadow falls on the lowliest walls,
 While the brimming horn goes round.
The ivy lives long, but its home must be
 Where graves and ruins are spread;
There's beauty about the cypress tree,
 But it flourishes near the dead;
The laurel the warrior's brow may wreathe,
 But it tells of tears and blood;
I sing the holly, and who can breathe
 Aught of that that is not good?
Then sing to the holly, the Christmas holly,
 That hangs over peasant and king;
While we laugh and carouse 'neath its glittering boughs,
 To the Christmas holly we'll sing.
# Our American Holidays - Christmas/The Mahogany-Tree

THE MAHOGANY-TREE
WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY
Christmas is here;
Winds whistle shrill,
Icy and chill.
Little care we;
Little we fear
Weather without,
Sheltered about
The Mahogany-Tree.
Once on the boughs
Birds of rare plume
Sang in its bloom;
Night-birds are we;
Here we carouse.
Singing, like them,
Perched round the stem
Of the jolly old tree.
Here let us sport,
Boys, as we sit —
Laughter and wit
Flashing so free.
Life is but short —
When we are gone.
Let them sing on.
Round the old tree.
Evenings we knew,
Happy as this;
Faces we miss,
Pleasant to see.
Kind hearts and true.
Gentle and just.
Peace to your dust!
We sing round the tree.
Care like a dun.
Lurks at the gate;
Let the dog wait;
Happy we'll be!
Drink, every one;
Pile up the coals;
Fill the red bowls,
Round the old tree!
Drain we the cup. —
Friend, art afraid?
Spirits are laid
In the Red Sea.
Mantle it up;
Empty it yet;
Let us forget,
Round the old tree!
Sorrows begone!
Life and its ills,
Duns and their bills,
Bid we to flee.
Come with the dawn,
Blue-devil sprite;
Leave us to-night,
Round the old tree!
