CRIMINAL CoURT.-Hon. Henry Stump, Judge.
Frederick Pinkney, Esq, Deputy States Attorney,
prosecuting.
In the case of Henry NJ. Fitzhugh, charged with
an assault with intent to kill Paul D. Placide S.
Teackle Wallis. Esq, appeared and offered as
bondsmen himself and John II. Thomas Esq.
Mr.. Pinkney declined to accept Mr.. Wallis and
Mr.. Thomas as bail, there being a rule of this
Court which prohibited members of the bar from
becoming security for the appearance of any party
under Indictment
The Court said, such was the rule, and it was not
willing to depart from it in this case.
Mr.. Thomas remarked that, as he had never been
admitted as an attorney in this Court, he did not
think the rule applied to him.
MT. Plnkney was of opinion that the rule applied
to all members of the bar. whether attorneys in this
Court or not.
The Court was of the same opinion, and declined
the bail proffered.
Mr.. B. Nicholas Worthington afterwards was Of
tered by MIR. Thomas as security in the sum of ST.
OO0, and was accepted by the Court.
The Appeal Docket for city cases was then taken
city. '"'
The following cases were disposed of:
John CznarOwsky Us. The Mayor and City Coun-
Gil of Baltimore An appeal from Justice ShipIey.
Judgment reversed.
William II. Rose Us. The Mayor and City Council
OF Baltimore. An appeal from Justice Mearis.-
Jury trial.
This suit was brought to test the question whether
in more than one bed for the purpose of playing the
game of ten pins, would be compelled under the
ordinance of the city, to take out license for each
and every bed, sound.
The appellant contended that having taken out a
license for bowling alley, the ordinance had been
complied with, as the term bo,cling alien did not
imply simply bed to be used for rolling the balls,
but that 1t meant the structure enclosure where
the game of bowes was played, and therefore a Ii
cense for bowling alley did not prohibit the using
of more than one bed for such purpose
The case was argued by j. r. Kenly, ESQ.,. for
appellant, and Archibald Stirling, Jr., Esq, for
appellee.
The Court, after hearing the argument at request
of counsel gave its opinion to the effect, that the
appellant, having taken out license for bowling
alley had complied with the ordinance and that it
was not requisite to procure license for every bed
upon which the balls were rolled
The jury, after hearing the opinion of the
Court, asked for baliff and retired to their
room.
At o'clock the jury returned, and rendered a
verdict for the appellee.
Mr.. Kenly gave notice of his intention of filing a
motion for a new trial.
The Grand Jury found bill against Paul D. Pla-
eide, for assaultng by using threatening language
and gestures, Henry NJ. Fitzhugh.
The Court adjourned until this morning at five
