A SIT WHICH TESTED TINE
SCyDAY ORDINANCE, AND
THE RIGHT OF THE ma
TO BRING SUIT.

1t appears that his Honor, Mayor
Brady, in the edischarge OF his duty
under the charter, which in Sec. 10 re-
ouires that, The Mayor shall take care
that the laws of the State aud the or
iinances of the city are duly observed
and enforced" brought suit against al
derman Clman for violation OF ordin-
ance No. 8, Sec. 9, approved June 18th,
1871, which says that mo spirituous
or intoxicating liquors shall be sold or
given away on Sunday or any general
election day" The case was tried be-
fore city justice johnson, and was ably
argued by Pau & Baker, for defendent,
and City Attorney Buck for the city.
Alderman Ulman admitted the sale OF
liquor on Sunday, but plead that the
violation of the ordinance was open on
" to civil action, which must be
brought by the council, and not by the
Mayor. Mr.. Buck maintained the right
and duty of the Mayor to bring the ac-
ton in the plain performance of his
duty. The Justice so decided, and Al
derman Ulman was fined $25 and costs.
The ordinance, being law, should be
respected and obeyed by all citizens,
and especially by members OF the city
council. 1t is the plain and obvious
duty ola Mayor to see that all ordinance
are enforced. He does not make the
ordinance But it is his duty, when
they are made, TO SEQ that they are
obeyed.
