Hughes v. Wendel
Appellant is the owner of a 99-year perpetually renewable lease of which the University of Miami, in Ohio, is lessor, and which has been subjected to assessment of county taxes pursuant to § 5330 of the Ohio General Code. Appellant contends that this statute as applied violates an exemption from taxation granted by § 13 of an Ohio statute of February 17, 1809 (7 Ohio Laws, p. 188), which allegedly became a part of her contract through execution of the lease, and impairs the obligation of her contract contrary to Article I, § 10 of the Constitution. The record, however, does not set forth appellant's lease, and the incomplete summary of it contained in her pleading is not adequate to enable us to determine what her rights may be. Accordingly, we must dismiss the appeal.
Dismissed.

# Hugo Grimm on Silence Dogood

Hugo Grim on Silence Dogood
Mr. Couranto,
Since Mrs. DOGOOD has kept SILENCE for so long a Time, you have no doubt lost a very valuable Correspondent, and the Publick been depriv'd of many profitable Amusements, for which reason I desire you to convey the following Lines to Her, that so if she be in the Land of the Living we may know the Occasion of her Silence.
Mrs. Dogood.
I greatly wonder why you have so soon done exercising your Gifts, and hid your Talent in a Napkin. You told us at first that you intended to favour the Publick with a Speculation once a Fortnight, but how comes it to pass that you have laid aside so Good a Design? Why have you so soon withdrawn your Hand from the Plough (with which you tax'd some of the Scholars) and grown weary of Doing Good?
Is your Common-Place Wit all Exhausted, your stock of matter all spent? We thought you were well stor'd with that by your striking your first blow at the College. You say (in your No 2.) that you have an Excellent Faculty at observing and reproving the Faults of others, and are the Vices of the Times all mended? Is there not Whoring, Drinking, Swearing, Lying, Gaming, Cheating and Oppression, and many other Sins prevailing in the Land? Can you observe no faults in others (or your self) to reprove? Or are you married and remov'd to some distant Clime, that we hear nothing from you? Are you (as the Prophet supposed Baal that sottish Deity) asleep, or on a Journey, and cannot write? Or has the Sleep of inexorable unrelenting Death procur'd your Silence? and if so you ought to have told us of it, and appointed your Successor. But if you are still in Being, and design to amuse the Publick any more, proceed in your usual Course; or if not, let us know it, that some other hand may take up your Pen.
Your Friend,
HUGO GRIM.

# History of West Hoboken N.J./Chapter 7

* CHAPTER VII.
* Oil, Gas and Electric Street Lights.
* Before the year 1872, the stores and residences of this town were illuminated only by the use of kerosene lamps, and as for street lights that was left to the moon and stars, if they chose to shine, and if they didn't the streets were in darkness.
* In the latter year the Township Committee entered into an agreement with the Hudson County Gas Company, whereby that Company was given permission to lay gas mains in the several streets.
* The township contracted with them to light the streets, and at first had 17 gas lamps in use, the township and Gas Company each paying half the salary of the gas lighter, who was Mr. John Everson. He held this place until 1874, when Mr. Charles Hall procured the position. By this time 200 oil lamps had been added, and 13 more gas lamps. Mr. Hall held the contract for caring for these lamps until 1875, when Messrs. Collins and Everson got the contract, and they were the official caretakers of the street lamps until 1890, and at this time there were 596 gas lamps in use and no oil lamps.
* An amusing incident in connection with this contract for street lighting was a clause which prohibited the lighting of the lamps on nights when the moon was supposed to shine. It didn't matter if it was story on these nights, or if old Luna was obscured by the clouds, as long as the almanac stated that it would be moonlight the lights were not lit, and at these times the streets were in total darkness.
* In the year 1890, the town council contracted with the Hudson Electric Light Company for 15 arc lights. These were placed on Clinton avenue from Stevens street south, and on Spring street from Stevens street north.
* After the installation of these electric lights the council gradually added more until all the gas and oil lamps were done away with, and to-day I do not think I exaggerate when I say that there is no municipality in the State that can lay claim to being better lighted than our town. With very few exceptions every street corner is adorned with an electric light.

* CHAPTER IX.
* Public Library.
* The Free Public Library went into active operation on June 1, 1898, issuing books on Tuesday and Thursday evenings of each week.
* The first Board of Library Trustees consisted of Messrs. Lucien P. Druck, chairman; Paul Konert, clerk; Louis A. Menegaux, Henry O. Steinhoff and John Lane, with Mrs. A. Parker, librarian. The board organized in No. 1 school, and on December 1, 1898, leased its present quarters, 327 Clinton avenue. Only the upper floor of this building was used at first, the board subsequently acquiring possession of the entire building.
* The library began its existence with 1,500 volumes, and to-day there are 3,902 volumes on the shelves, and there are enrolled as members 1,908 male and female citizens, and during the last year (1902), 20,584 books were issued.
* That great philanthropist, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, has recently notified the library trustees that he is ready to donate $25,000 for a new library building. The authorities have complied with the terms of his generous offer and have recently purchased the necessary ground on High street for the erection of the building, which, I suppose, will be erected and in operation by the time this history is given to the public.

* CHAPTER VIII.
* Municipal Water.
* The town in its infancy, like all country places, depended entirely on the various wells and cisterns for its drinking water, and, as stated in another part of this history. there were public pumps and cisterns in various parts of the town.
* In the spring of 1883, the Hackensack Water Company (having first entered into an agreement with the town council), began laying mains through Palisade avenue, Clinton avenue, Spring street and the Weavtertown road.
* The water was turned on for domestic and fire service on September 14, 1883, and this was an occasion of great rejoicing by the citizens, a feature of which was a grand parade, in which nearly every fire company in North Hudson took part.
* The supply of water was furnished from the water tower in Weehawken until the year 1901, but, as the consumption of water increased so rapidly, it became necessary to furnish a large storage, which resulted in the building of a reservoir at Edgewater Heights, with a capacity of 18,000,000 gallons, from which our town is at present supplied.
* This reservoir is located at an elevation of 319 feet above the Hudson River, which is 18 feet higher than the top of the tower at Weehawken.
* Since the water supply was first introduced many extensions of the system have been made in the new streets that have been opend, in order to provide for the rapidly growing population, until, at the present time, there are 21 miles of mains laid out, and 190 fire hydrants connected with the system.

United States Supreme Court
353 U.S. 569
Jackson v. Taylor
Argued: April 30, 1957. --- Decided: June 3, 1957
Mr. Justice BRENNAN, with whom The CHIEF JUSTICE, Mr. Justice BLACK and Mr. Justice DOUGLAS join, dissenting.
I am unable to see how the action of the Board of Review can fairly be characterized as other than an original imposition of sentence by the Board for the offense of attempted rape. The Uniform Code of Military Justice grants no power to the Board to impose original sentences. 64 Stat. 128, 50 U.S.C. § 653, 50 U.S.C.A. § 653. That power is reserved exclusively to the court-martial. There was, therefore, no valid gross sentence embracing attempted rape upon which the Board's power to remit an excessive portion could operate. I subscribe to what Judge Major said in the similar case of De Coster v. Madigan, 7 Cir., 1955, 223 F.2d 906, 909-910, in which De Coster was allowed habeas corpus and ordered discharged:
'* * * While the court-martial obviously had jurisdiction of plaintiff and the offenses with which he was charged, it did not fully and fairly deal with him. The Law Officer instructed the court-martial that the minimum sentence which could be imposed on the murder charge was life imprisonment. But the Law Officer gave no instructions as to the punishment which could be imposed on the attempted rape charge. The court-martial found plaintiff guilty of both murder and attempted rape, but its sentence was life-imprisonment, the minimum sentence for the murder charge alone. Of course, any suggestion that the court-martial should have sentenced plaintiff for a term of life plus twenty years would be ridiculous, but equally so is the assertion that the court-martial did or intended to impose any part of its sentence for attempted rape. It lacked even the necessary instructions upon which such award of punishment would have to be based. Imposition of sentence by the proper authority is an essential step in administration of criminal justice. Here, under the statute, only the court-martial was authorized to take this step; it failed to do so.'

# Jackson v. Twentyman/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
THIS cause was brought before the Court by a writ of error to the circuit court of the southern circuit of New York.
The description of the parties on the record was 'John Twentyman, a subject of the king of Great Britain vs. Daniel and Joseph Jackson.' No citizenship of the defendants being argued.
The question was whether the circuit court under the 11th section of the judiciary act of 1789, ch. 20, which gives jurisdiction, among other cases, 'where an alien is a party,' had jurisdiction of the cause without an assumpsit on the record of the citizenship of the defendants.
Mr Taylor, for the plaintiffs in error, argued that the judgment of the circuit court should be reversed. He cited Bingham vs. Cabot, 3 Dall. 382. Hodgson vs. Bowerbant, 5 Cranch, 303. Sullivan vs. The Fulton Steam Boat Company, 6 Wheaton, 450.
The Court were of opinion that the 11th section of the act must be construed in connexion with and in conformity to the constitution of the United States. That by the latter, the judicial power was not extended to private suits, in which an alien is a party, unless a citizen be the adverse party. It was indispensable therefore to aver the citizenship of the defendants, in order to show on the record the jurisdiction of the court.
The omission so to do was fatal, and according to the known course of the decisions of the Court, the judgment of the circuit court must be reyersed for want of jurisdiction.
