important Decision.

PHILADELPHIA Dec. 2I--Justics Black, of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, to-day
gave q decision in several cases from Allie
ghany county, where an alderman had fined
tavern keepers $50 for selling liquor on the
Sabbath. The defendants claimed the right
of trial by jury, denying the jurisdiction of the
alderman The decision affirmed the Judgment
of the magistrates, holding that such cases
were not suits a. common law, but criminal
proceedings under a special act All the other
judges agreed with this decision, except Judge
Lewis, who contended against the whole prin-
ciple of summary conviction as an invasion Of
the right of trial by jury.

O. the case q Cameron vs.. Snifin, lately tried
IN ths Circuit tosrt, 1 beg leave to state that
cameron claimed from Snifin on c6htfact, and
for extra work on Browns Hotel, over $l0, 900
This balance was mainly made ont by dis
allowing IS 511 Is of the payments claimed to
have been made to Cameron on account Of said
contract. In addition to these payments,
which seemed to have been made through the
Bank of Warrington, payable to Cameron's
order and by him endorsed, Snifin had, as .
set of, large claim against Cameron for extra
work on Browns Hotel, Trinity Church, and
the Smithsonian Building In short, Cameron
claimed verdict for over $40, 900, and Snifin
claimed verdict for over 50, 900, after paying
Cameron's whole claim. In the spirit of com
promise, consented to q verdict for plaintiff
(Cameron) to the amount of SIS 800, with inter
est from commencement of his suit. Five out
OF twelve, and 1 among them, had voted for
1854 and some cents; but three out of the
five, few moments after, voted against
$500, because would not 20 for q sum over
$1,000. and meet the other seven Jurors NV
first offer, as q compromise, was $4,000 for
plaintiff; on that proposition the vote was two
to ten. Thus it is seen that the jury did not
= go out eleven to one, and remain so divided
until they were discharged although it is
true that at all times eleven were willing to
60 for sum beyond my reach, for the sake of
verdict. Respectfully,
