TIoS.-Mr. Thomas j. Beal and Philip Ga
colored man), both employees Of Mr.. Charles
L. Whitlock, lumber-dealer, were before the
Police Justice yesterday morning charged
with measuring lumber without having a
city license SO to do. The accused were re-
ported by two of the reguarly-licensed
mcasurerS. MIR. Whitlock claimed that he
has the right to measure his own lumber,
and argued that if he has that right be
can delegate it to his employs. 1t was
not proved that accused had measured
for apv one but Mr.. Whitlocb, and the
latter said that on account Of this OUTSIDE
interference with his business he had re-
solved hereafter to have all his lumber COM
ing from the North measured there before
being put on ship-board. He had four or
five sbps now on their way loaded with lum-
Der, all Of which had been measured. HIS
objection TO the licensed measurers was not
that they cost him more than his own mea-
surers-on the contrary, they cost less but
it was because he desired his lumber. when
measured, TO be sorted in particular way.
Tie Police Justice took the case under ad-
ysement. and Will render bis decision on Sat
