LAST EDITION
HucKsTsRs IN THE MARKET. :
The Rights Of Jersey City Truckers Before
the Municipal Court.

The Rights Of Jersey City Truckers Before
the Municipal Court.
Before Judge Turner this morning Mar
tin j. Dolbow was charged by Joseph NJ.
Croes with violating the market act IN
offering for sale produce not grown by
himself. It was in testimony that Dol
bow was a resident of Pennsgrove, N. j.,
and was engaged extensively in the grow
ing of farm produce. A few days ago
he bought twenty baskets of potatoes
from another Jerseyman and sold them
in the market For this Croes had him
arrested.
The court dismissed the case as it was
only n technical violation and would join
with an admonition that the defendant in
the future wonld not expose for sale any
other ar ticles except those produced on
his own land or lands leased by him. The
city solicitor did not contend for the
strict enforcement of the law, as it was
the first case that had come before him
since his entrance into office. When the
judge dismissed the case Mr.. Dolbow ad-
dressed the court and said if the law is
enforced it will have but one result, and
that will be the entire abolition of the
Jersey market, as there were but three
persons who brought produce to the
market from Jersey, who raised the arti-
Giles they sold on their own lands.
At the conclusion of the market case
Walter Bacon, Esq, commenced his argu-
ment for new trial in the case of State
VS.. James Jones, convicted Of assault and
battery on October 6. 1t was the first
time since the creation of the court that
motion for new trial had been made
and heard Mr. Bacon held that the
court erred in not allowing two witnesses
of the defence to be heard the witnesses
not being present at the time in court,
but having been regularly summoned
also in not giving sufficient eredence t.
one Of the witnesses for the defence
New evidence had been since discovered
which Mr.. Bacon also offered
Mr.. Ball in reply said that he had but 3
short reply to make and that was that
the court had no power after sentence
passed to reopen case and grant new
trial Mr. Bacon claimed that the cour
had set the precedent in the same case
( but the court decided that in that cas-
the counsel for the defense irterpose'
his motion before final decision was rem
dered The court upheld the city solicit
view and directed that the sentence 0
$25alld costs and six months imprison
ment be carried into execution.
