SHARP PRAcTICE.-A few days since Mr..
Justice Brown issued an order to take the
goods and chattels ofa young man resid-

appeared in person and by counsel SET
up by way of confession and avoidment
thath was a married man, citizen of
the State of Ohio, the head Of family
and not the owner of homestead, and
made proof that he had been married
the evening before. The attachment

The question, "How far Railways can
goin making and enforcing police regu-
lations ?" is one ofinterest to all persons
travelling, and frequenting railway sta
tions, depots, platforms, tracks or Rail-
way property in any form, and it is, a
matter of 30 much importance thatit is |
to be hoped that useful police regulations
for all railway stations in the city will be |
adopted. The public have been annoy
ed for years by idlers congregating in the |
rooms and on the platforms of the station |
houses and depot buildings, to meet |
which annoyances the Legislature by an |
act passed many years ago clothed the |
Supetihtendents of the railway stations |
with almost plenary power to correct the |
evil. The several railways running into |
and out of the city have posted up notices
as required by the statute referred to and
are determined to enforce such regula-

from the annoyance complained of.
Stands are provided for carriages at all |
