ls'rsesios RErrsrp.--An application was
made short time ago TO Judge Woodward, of
the Supreme Court. by certain Of our butch
ers, TO restrain the city from proceeding
against then, for violating the m~st market
ordinances. Judge Woodward refused 70 grant
the injunction. We understand, from remarks
made BY the Mayor before Council, that steps
will be Immediately taken to close up the meat
shops, and compel the butchers 70 cell st the
market houses, or pay a daily fne. Things
we're quiet yesterday. Council refused TO
grant the petitions Of several butchsr yester-
day 70 sell meat at their shops without legal
molcstation. or course action must be- taken
against the vegetable market also
