TRYING MAN FOR OCCUPYING A STALL
WITHOUT PAYING RENT
Yesterday In the Police Court Andrew Dorr
was arraigned upon the charge of occupying a
stsil in the Centre market without having
rented the same from tho Washington Market

peared for the defense, and Mr.. r. ]. Murray
and Mr.. A. A. Birney for the District,
Mr.. Elliot moved 10 quash the proceedings.
rs the information was filed under the law of
the late corporation Of Washington making
the oftense, If any, against the corporation of
Washington, and the testimony was TO the
effect that II any ofrcnse had been committed
1t was against the Washington Market Com
pany, which was private corporation.
MIR. Birney claimed that the Washington
Market Company succeeded to all the powers
OF the late corporation pertaining to markets
so far as the Centre market was concerned
and that their charter expressly declared this
to be public market "Thst the Washing.
ton Market Company was authorized to use
this property aud to erect a suitable building
or buildings for public market-house."
The Court said before ruling upon the mo-
tion to quash he would Ike to examine the
ordinance of the corporation and the act of
Congress in relation to the market that they
had better go on with their testimony. and he
would decide the question Of law afterwards
Mr.. Emerson testified for the defense that
be rented the stall from the Market Company,
aud that MI Dorr occupied II by virtue Of a
copartnership between himself and DOrr The
copartnership being proven the court said
that that relieved him from examining
further into tho law, as Mr.. Dorr being part.
ner he was not violating the law The court
further said that it appeared to him that the
law ofthe copartnership was intended to reach
= class Of persons who, without renting stalls
from the corporation, took possession of them
as mere squatters. The case was dismissed

BREAKING THE BREAD LAW.

Yesterday, in the Police Court, George
schafier, a baker, doing business in George
town, was arraigned, charged with selling
bread OF light weight. When called upon to
plead he said he had been In the bakery bust
ness for sixteen years, and had never heard of
the bread law yet. Officer Harper, Of the
Third precinct, testified to arrcsting SchafIer
on bridge street, Georgetown, on suspicion Of
having light bread. He took the bread and
had 1t weighed. and found 1t was from a half
TO two ounces light
Mr.. Schafcr asked that his case be post
poncd for further hearing, as there was no
law to stop bread wagon on the street and
weigh the bread when II was sent around with
the wagon. The Court took a different view
Of the matter and fined Schaffer s..
Peter May, also Georgetown baker, was IN
court to answer the charge Of having light.
weight bread in the market and offering ii for
sale. From the evidence Of Mr.. Ritter, the
market.master, 1t was shown that he tRitter)
weighed the bread and found IL to he from
two 10 two-and-a-half ounces short, and that
lhc double loaves were from four-and a half to
i've ounces short. The Court reviewed the
testimony, deprecated the practice Of not CIV
ing full weight, and fined Mr.. May So
Another Georgetown baker named Benia-
min Gissell was arraigncd upon the same
charge, and in order to give him an oppor-
tunity to produce his witnesses, his case was
postponed until Tuesday next.
