The BARRIERS.

Yesterday Mr.. Smith had his case brought
up before Judge Knight; that of keeping a
barber shop open on the Sabbath after 10
o'clock. Judge Knight reserved decision I'M
til the other cases had been heard to-day. Mr..
Smith pleaded guilty. He claimed that the
BARRIERS did not wish to keep open Sunday;
that they made every effort to accommodate
the public by keeping open until midnight
Saturday; that there was no reason why they
should have to work seven days any more than
any other tradesmen; that if some kept open
Sundays others must or lose their customers
that if it was illegal to work Sunday all day it
was equally illegal to work part of the day;
and that keeping open till ten o'clock Sunday
morning was no convenience since they were
not ready for business after previous even
ing's hord work. until that time Sunday, He
also said the public, as soon as it was under
stood that the BARRIERS would not keep open lon
Sunday. would be on hand the day previous.
He said the Supreme Court at Bangor, in 1861,
decided it was illegal for barber to keep open
Sunday.
Judge Knight said that while he should not
render decision he would say he did not un-
derstand that the Mayor and City Government
pretended to settle the legality or illegality by
fixing ten o'clock Sunday as closing hour.
He presumed they intended simply to accom-
modate the public just as bakers are allowed
to dispense hot beans and brown bread Sunday
morning and newspapers to be cried and sold
during certain hours on that day.
