ored Passengers Food II Outside the Dis
trlct.
In the police court yesterday John Fowler,
purser of the steamer Moseley, was charged
by 4. W. Hewlett, n colored lawyer, with vio-
lating tho criminal clause of the civil rights
act. The specific charge was that the defend
ant refused to sell the complainant n first class

Sept. 10 he procured n ticket and stateroom to
Norfolk and return. He applied for u supper
ticket, which the defendant refused to give
and referred him to the captain; the captain
also refused to sell him ticket. Witness did
not sec any ticket sold until the boat had
passed Alexandria.
The defendants testified that the company
sells no supper tickets until the boat has
passed Alexandria. lie did not refuse to sell
Mr.. Hewlett ticket, hut referred him to the
captain. The complainant said nothing about
supper tickets while the vessel was ut the
wharf In this city. Mr. Samuel Norment wns
called and questioned as 10 the practice fol
lowed of selling tickets. The questions were
ruled out.
In deciding the case Judge Smell said "The
burden Of proof is on the government to show
that Mr.. Hewlett wns refused n ticket on &c.
count of his race, color, &c. The oticnse must
have occurred In the District of Columbia.
Tic law mas been declared unconstitutional,
so far as the states arc concerned, but ms being
the charge was proven that the complainant
was refused ticket in the Dstric of Columbia,

mont against the defendant, but in this case
