numerous articles displayed for the use
of the patrons.
The articles for gymnastic exercises

COurtln ChAncery.

Mr.. Rates commenced his argument
this morning in support of the app!ica'
ton for an injunction to prevent oam
uel H. Baynald finishing his building at
Fifth and Market streets according. 10
the present plans. Mr.. Ba es cited
number of authorities to show that the
Injunction should be granted.
He contended that the streets OF
city were the property of the citizens,
and maintained fOrtheir use and benefit,
and that no one had a right to obstruct
them in any way or do anything that
would interfere with the rights and
privileges Of the people. He made tht
proposition that this encrOachmen'
being a nuisance per Sc it could moi
legally be licensed by the municipal
authorities, and argued that anything
which interfered with the passage along
the street was an encroachment. Ht
continued to speak almost up to the time
of the noon adjournment.
When Mr. Bates concluded, the Chan
cellor said that he was of the opinion
that the Court in Chancery should
not interfere in this case, and he there
fore ordered that the application for
rule and preliminary injunction shoult
b. dismissed.
Mr.. Bates said that he would like tn
opinion to be made final, so that h
could take the case to the Court OF I'll
