TIL HAcK-sTAND Bill
The name OF A. Cook was on the docket,
charged with misdemeanor. It seemed 10 be
a sort of test case, to decide whether the per-
mission of an occupant of a building was
sufficient authority for a hsckman to make
his stand in front, or i. it necessary to have
nc SOuSOh "a ahs Lhc jugs ucClucu tudl
the "law in the case" was that a portion of
the bluff had been set aside for the use of
the hackmeD, and there wac no law allowing
them to make a stand in any other part Of
the city. 1t is true the custom has been to
allow them TO stand on Main street, south of
Madison and north of Jefferson street, when
the owners or occupants of property would
allow them; also, they had been allowed to
stand on one or tine other side of Monroe, |
near Main, under an agreement that
they would keep that locality clean
and haul off the filth. This contract they |
have failed 10 perform, and be would have
10 look after them. The case in point he
had to decide against Mr.. Cook, who mus. !
leave the point complained Of. The party
who gave Cook consent alleged that the hack
10 front of his door was an advantage to his
business, while the parties occupying the
floors above urged that the hack was detri-
mental to their business. The first party
then wanted to know if he could not keep his
own drays in front of his business place, to
which the Court replied that drays and ex-
press-wagons could only stand in front of
business houses long enough 10 load and IN
load-a custom, BY the way, more houored
10 the breach than the Observance. Cook
was discharged, with the order to move on
with his hack.
