Sharp Fractice.--0n opening Monroe street

damages 10 William Pyle, and the City Coun.

sioner Mr. McIntire.
The Wilmington Hide and TalloW COMPANY
had an attachment served on the Treasurer for
the money, but before said officer could notify
the Street Commissioner Of the fact, Mr.. Pyle
obtained the order and drew the amount. The
Hide and Tallow association then entered suit
against the city, and at last meeting of Council
an order was drawn in their favor for $500 and
costs, thus paying twice over for the same priv-
lege. The officers were not cansursd and ting
city will remain the creditor Of Mr.. Pyle We
hope for only, short time.
