ng the Police Commfsaioners rom interfering
with his operatc performances on Sunday nights
was argued yesterday In Supreme Court, Cham
bers, before Judge D0nonue, Mr.. Charles Wehie
appearing FOR the plaintif ana Mr.. A. Oakley Han
tor the Commissioners BY special designation OF
tue Corporation Counsel.
Mr. wehle made an elaborate argument insist
ing that the law of 1860 which forbids operaslc and
dramatic exhibitions on Sunday, 10 unconsutu-
tonal. He claimed that the same was unconst-
tntIonal-first, as unduy interfering with the ho-
erty ana property OF the citizen: second, be-
cause the act was local, and It's subject matter
was not sufficiently expressed IN the ntie He
cited very numerous decisions In support OF DIS
positions.
Mr Hail. In answer contended that the ques-
tlon was not one o. tas.e, expectancy poncy or
ply argue as such. The question whether or not
dramatic and operatic exhibitions could be con-
sttutioDaly given on sunday was not an open
quesIion before any court excepting that OF the
Appeals, inasInuch as Ia the celebrated Linden
% preme Court Reports, the General FERN Of this
district among the Judges o. when were tne
Judge OF Appeals AIienj nad decided that the very
statute OF 1850, now attacked, was constitutional
In al IFS length and breadth. TEat case was very
elaboratey argued by Messrs. Clinton and Brady
on one side and The late John IL Anthem
npon the other. Tne Court OF Appeals might pos.
sDiy reverse that law, but so FAR as the special
and General Terms oil the supreme Court OF this
district were concerned the question was pre-.
he admitted there was q distinction between the
concert and every amusement which fell short OF
what Is specifically enumerated Ia the law OF 1850,
such as the dress drama the dress opera, circus,
juagiery &c In regard to the objection that the
title OF the did specify the subject and aid
not aver ii was act TO prohibit theatrical
amusements IN the city OF New York, 1t was
sufficient answer that the Lindenmuller case coy
cred this point and all under the statute. He
farsber con ended that this like the ques-
ton in the theatrical license Here the local
authorities were enforcing misdemeanor sta.
tute and not private society enforcing q prlVute
penalty statute.
Mr.. Wehle In reply, denied that the Linden
m mutler case applied to this one before the Court,
and argued That the omission OF the subject from
the title OF the act brought 1t within the abjua.
Gated cases, and made IL, on that ground, uncon-
stitutional and void and that the Iindenmuller
case did not raise the questions OF the tide and
the local act.
Judge Donahue took the papers and reserved
his decision.
