Attic ARMonY YESTERDAY MORNING,
hlarge number of people assembled to witneas
che trials Of the ealoon-keepers, who were SUM-
moned to answer the charge Of keeping open
their places Of business last Sunday. The court
room Was crowded with the friends Of the de-
PENDANTS. anu Others who had dropped IN to
see how Justice Banyon would dispose OF the
cases. Much uerrimcnt was anticipated, and
the spectators were not disappointed Ihe
Court was in Z very good humor, and
produced laugh very frequently by his remarks
and characteristic decisions. The Major "a
Constable who does the errands for the Court,
and collects executions-was constantly called
upon to preserye order, 3 favorable decision to
the yiolato1s of the Sunday ordinance always
eliciting applause. One individual had the
temerity to shout Bully" when the Court dis
missed case. The Court became very indig-
nant thereat. and ordered all tile policemen who
were standing up to take Seats AS every
seat was occupied. the mandnte could not
be obeyed. Among those present we're Alder
xnen Tracey and Cullerton, and e1-Aldermnn
Montgomery. The latter, as is well known, Is
strictly temperate; and, although he did not
claim to be such, was probably in Court as rep
resentatiye of acold water lodge: MI. Clydea
OF the Law Department, appeared Oh behalf OF
+he city to prosecute the cases.
