City MONEY REFUsED.-We yesterday
heard of case where the pound keeper il
the Fourth District demanded of Mr.. Fish
er .greenbacks for keeping cart in the
pound. Fisher has night cart and was
arrested because the thing was leaky; he
was taken before Recorder jackson and
the cart impounded. Fisher was dis
charged and after his cart had been i'm
pounded three or four hours he applied for
it, (and the horse too we presume), and
So so fees were demanded, which he offered
in city currency; this was refused ard Uni.
ted States currency demanded. Fisher
would not pay in greenbaeks, but intends
to test the matter. By this exposition we
hope to learn that the subject will be final
ly settled, whether city pound keeper has
a right to make this assessment in currency
or in city money. We learn that Fisher
rendered payment second time in pres.
ence of witnesses, and was again met with
refusal. He now intends pushing the whole
affair to an early issue.
