THE MARKET MEN.
The Case of Lancaster snll Pending.

The Case Of Lancaster Stall Pending
Mr.. Elliott, for defendant, yesterday re-
sumed Ibis argument, before Justice Robinson,
in the case of the market company against Ian
caster. He recapitulated the facts that he went
over on Thursday and reasserted that the market
property belonged to the public, and that the
charter Of 1870 gave the company only certain
franchises and read authorities TO sustain the point
He again quoted from the Hoffman case, June,
1874, in which Judge Wylie issued an order re;
straining the company from reselltnE stalls, and
called attention to the Interpretation which Judge
Wyle had put upon the charter. He read from
the testimony Of Smith in that case to the effect
that he (Smith) would not receive rent under the
old sale, but took money for the use and occupS-
did net authorize the collection Of anything ex-
ceptinR rent. He urged that the company had
violated their franchises in deciding away the
front land. He quoted OrdEay's testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, in reference to the recuctienof rent
effected by the District Legislature.
General Birney objected to the report as incor-
rect, but was oTerruled. He quoted extensively
from Senator FTelinghuysen's report on Senate
bill e37, In relation to the market company, I'M
peaching the legality Of the transfer OF the front
land, and stating that the company had violated
the conditions OF the grant in not erecting the
front building, and that the transfer of the prop
erty preeluded the possibility Of their fulfilling
them.
In conclusion, after quoting other authorities,
he stated that the dealers did not seek redress for
the money that they had paid unlsvfully, but
they were resisting an action brought against
them, and did II because the company had gone
beyond the privileges allowed by the charter.
Mr.. Elliott then submitted the case to the Court
for the defendant.
Mr. Bradley will close the case for the plaintiff
on Monday at O'Clock.
