more City Criminal Court, the case having been
removed from Baltimore county by the defendant.
The evidence on the part of the State showed that
Mr.. Duneans son had passed through the gate on
the morning Of March sth, 1855, and had paid
toll, which, the State claimed, exempted Duncan
from the payment of any other toll on that day
under the charter of the turnpike company. The
company proved that although Mr. Duncan's son
had passed through the toll gate that day. he had
paid but tso eents, instead of four. which did not
entitic Duncan TO claim the exception Of the Law
In his favor. Judge Fisher coineided In the views
