LIQUOR DEALERS WARNED.

A report OF the proceedings yesterday in the
Court OF oyer and Termlner, Judge Barrett being
on the Bench follows as fit companion picture
to the decision given above IN the Schwao case.
Assistant District Attorney Rollins, 1t VIII be re-
memDered, at the session OF the Court succeeding
the conviction OF Schwab gave utterance to rather
forcible warnings against liquor dealers falling to
take out licenses, but, however, with pleasant
promises OF clemency to those paying proper re-
spect to the Excise Commissioners.
On the reassemoing OF the Court yesterday,
there being no cases ready for trial, he repeated
his previous philippe, but intensified, against
unlicensed liquor dealers. He referred to the
case OF Schwab as showing that the law
covered all classes OF liquor dealers and the en-
1orcement OF this fact was tue object OF his
pressing that case 10 trial. In the convection and
sentence OF the prisoner the majesty and dignity
OF the law had been iully vindicated. The result
OF this sentence and conviction was that on the
very next day but one-tne intervening day being
thanksgiving Day-some $4,000 was paid as
license fees to the Excise commissioners On
Saturday he had large calendar against un-
licensed liquor dealers and all but one at once
compiled with the law and took out licenses.
Under these circumstances he did not feel inclined
to press the suits against tnem thinking as ne
supposed His Honor did, that when q spirit o.
compliance was shown no spirit or vindctveness
snould be shown. Counsel Tor the liquor dealers
had said in hls hearing that there no real de-
fence to these suits. He had been surprised TO
hear since that some counsel for the liquor dealers
had advised them that the law could be success
1ully comDatted and thai meetings had
been held for the SAKE or concerted action In
resisting the law. In view or this new
defiance OF the law he was ready TO move to trial
the cases OF ali who continued TO violate the law
since the CONVICTION OF ScnwaD, and he now gave
notice OF such intention. fe was not 10 make the
Court O mere corrective bureau.
Judge Barrett here interrupted Mr.. Rollins. He
SAID mat such use OF the Court could not be tolcr~
ated. he had suggested that where licenses were
taken out nolie pros should be entered; but II it
became apparent that they were only taken out
Wnen their the calendar he
should then withdraw hts suggestion and let Mr..
Rollins lake his own course in this matter.

before Judge Woodruff.
Yesterday Judge Woodruff rendered mis- de-

that the decree herein may award . gross sum

same to be distributed BY the Clerk to the several
bellants according to the amounts OF their several

the schooner is condemned. The nbellants on
The other hand. ask that the decree be, IN
substance. several decrees-that ts to
say tnas It condemns the schooner for
each several amount OF loss and award
execution TO each libellant 10 collect the Iamount
OF his separate loss. The materality OF these con-
nicting claims Is supposed to arise from the ap-
prehension OF an appeal by the hbellants to the
supreme Conrt ana suggestion shat II the de-
cree were IN the form last mentioned no appeal
would be from those parts OF the decree which
awarded 70 either or any or the lbeliants a sum
less than $4,000. And that the supreme Court
would not have jurisdiction 10 reverse any part
except that which awards more tnan So OOO to one

preme Court to reverse the whole Decree II found
erroneous, Is not FOR rhs Court to decide. II the
apparent injustice OF compelling the claimants TO
pay part Of the loss, where the decision or the
supreme Court las the case may bel declares that
the claimants or their schooner have been wrong

pay anything, can be avoided. without violating
