Memphis and Columbus; and we here
pledge to him and the citizens Of his

sentiment and enterprise, and thus place
this project on such a footing as will
insure success.

obstructng an alley by driving posts in
the ground, thus preventing vehicles
from passing 1t appears that Mr. Kan
navan has lease on some property on
Gayoso street for twenty:one years; ad-
jacent to the property is an alley which
Mr. X. regards as private property.
Action has been taken against him sew
eral times for obstructing this alley, but
he has always defeated the prosecution
Mr. Summerville appeared on this ocea-
sion to represent the city in the prosecu-
ton Two able gentlemen appeared for
the defendant It was not shown that
the alley was public, although used as
such The decision was therefore rem
dered in favor of the defendant An
appeal will be taken to higher court
