The case Of W. Il. Hobby for the obatruc.
ton Of tba sidewalk on street, between
Third and Fousth. came up for trial before a
jury yesterday. and the entire day was occu-
pied il hearing the evidence. The testimony
for the prosecution showed that Hobby had
been ia the hsbit Of using the sidewalk TO
pack earthsdwsIe 10 large casks and crates,
often taking up nearly the whole sidewa'k
with casks. straw, crates and earthen jars.
MIR, Wacahcrst, the next door neighbGr, com.
planned tbRs Leis obstruction was a nuisance.
and b . tho frca passage and use Of the side.
walk was C55'ructed. The defendant elaine
that it was necessary 20 his business to use
the sidewalk ia the manner be used it, ard
that be always removed his wares within
few hours. Council for the prosecution in
sl4ted that u one person wEg allowed TO in
wade the street in this manner others must
be permitted 90 do he same, and this would
be an end O. al the strest and sidewalk reg
ulall7us. Il Usa evident from the testimony
that lh5is wa3 p plain violation Of the ordi-
nance, and thst p conviction should bs had
was q business mar, and that be ought 20 be
commended rather thau prosecuted for max.
ing an app5aianc1 # business. The jury
retired, ana after few hours elaboration
returned q ye-dilt OK nOs guilty.
II seems that su Efforts 10 enforce the
straat and ail5walk regulations are fruitles7.
When jugi1s are called they invariably bring
general syinpatEy for business men when
arraigned for such Uff1nses This is not as it
should be; all police, sanitary aud street reRu-
latio18 should i0r the credit Of the city be
strictly enforced. TIE action Of the jury is
equivalent 30 saying to all the citizens, you
can use HE gtrect5 and sidewalks as you
plea1s Pi7ca any obstruction that the tenn
por2ry or permanent convenience OF your
business requires and we will hold you harm
less. While we live in O law-abiding com
muniiy, IL is bias just that all the laws and
ordinances DO obeyed and il there is any or
dinnEce OF law tdas is not in accord with good
government let i. be repealed at once, and not
make tGlir existence simple mockery Of Law
and 0rde7.
