ANOTHER NUISANCE CAsE.-Some time
ago Eli Mayo was arrested and convicted by
the Court of the charge of maintaining and
keeping upon the premises known as III NJ
street stagnant water and filth. Not salts
fed with the judgment, Mayo appealed to
the Superior Court, which appeal is still
pending-and at the same time Mayo still re-
fused to abate the nuisance and allowed it
to continue. For this he was again arrested,
and this time defendant demanded jury.
Yesterday the case was called and jury i'm
paneled. City Attorney w. A. Anderson
conducted the prosecution, and j. w. Arm
strong and |. S. Brown appeared for defend
ant. The case occupied the attention of the
Court the entire day and was closely con-
tested, and many important questions of law
In relation to nuisances presented. The
jury, at the close Of arguments of counsel,
returned a verdict of guilty, defendant to APP
pear tomorrow at 10 A. NJ. for Judgment.
The defense was, that as the ground is in the
condition and formation as left by nature, the
defendant was not responsible for water
standing upon it, and authorities were CO.
piously cited to sustain this view. This,
however, does not avail when statute or
ordinance expressly establishes as law the
contrary. The result in this case will no
doubt prompt many others to act without
compulsion when notified by the authorities.
