A CASE UNDER THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Henry MoxOn, charged with refusing to serve
MarCellus West with eatables and dTinahles at
his Testaurant-West being black man-was
arraigned before Judgc Gray to-day. Marcellus
testified that he applie,. at the bar for drinks,
and was refused; that he asked for his reason,
which he refusedto give; that he CWest) charged
upon him that 1t was by reason of his being a
black man; that several white men came in at
that time and got drinks. Mr.. Cahill, corpora
lion attorney; Henry Himber, and other gentle
men were with him at the time. His object was
to see whether or not MOxon would refuse him.
AT this point the court ruled that the warrant
was defective, and Mr.. Cahill asked leave to
amend it.
This was granted, and that portion relating
to lace and color was stricken out.
Witnesses for defence testified to the disor-
DERBY conduct of West on the occasion, and that
he threatened 10 make it cost MoxOn $50.
MIR. Hine, counsel for defence, argued that it
had not been proved that MoNOn is the proprie-
tor OF the place. The Court ruled that it is in
cumbent on the prosecution to prove that the
place is kept by MoxOn, which not being done,
he dismissed the case.
