SUNDAY LAw.-The case of George r.. Lam
caster, indicted for violating the Sunday Law,
was tried in the Court of Sessions on Saturday.
The defense set up was, that the defendant, be-
ing the keeper of hotel, had right under the
law to keep open his bar, as part of the hotel
business. The case was ably conducted on both
sides, and resulted in the jury bringingin ver-
dict Of acquittal. On the rendition of the YER
dict, the Court, on motion of the District Attor-
ney, ordered the indictments againt Bailv and
Smith to be dismissed. This decision, we pre-
sumo, will settle the question as to the con-
structiOn of the Sunday law, at least so far as
this county is concerned. AS there is no JUS
tice in allowing one set of men to retail liquor
on Sunday, and prohibiting others, there will
probably be no more prosecutions for violating
the law. The law will undoubtedly be materi-
ally modified by the next Legislature.
