To AL Whom il may Concern. Numerous
instances have at various times come TO our
knowledge of the violation of law of the city
which prohibits the erection of wooden build
ings and tenements within the limits of direct
taxation; and we do not doubt that in some,
and probably in most cases. the violation is I'M
Intentional, and arises from ignorance of the
existence of such an ordinance But as ''gno-
rance of the law excuseth no man." and as its
penalties are imposed whether its Infringement
be intentional or unintentional, it is well to APP
prise the public of the fact, that it occupies a
place among our statutes. case was recent
ly tried before a Justice of the Peace, in which
the party, by vocation tailor, had erected a
small shed in the rear of his shop for the pur-
pose of heating his irons, and although he
pleaded ignorance of the law, and consequently
Ind not violated it wlfully, yet the magistrate
felt himself bound to impose a fine of five dol
lars.
