John B. Sutphin the mayor ofDu. 49,. '[m ~
alleging failure of contract on the pa ". ~ ~
mayor. Some time ago the plaintiff IN g.
fsndant entered into partnership, where.
the defendant was to receive dressed meats
from the plaintiff and sell on commission and
q salary of $40 per week. Much meat was
shipped to the S1ayor,- but the latter being
informed of the law in Minnesota, which ex-
pressly stipulates that al meats sold in the
state must be inspected at least twenty-four
hours before slaughter. refused to handle the
shipments, alleging his fear of the law. The
claim was set up, therefore, because OF the
loss accruing to the plaintiff Judge Blod-
gett held that the law was unconstitutional,
as the meats had already been inspected here
in Chicago before slaughter. Were such
law to be upheld Minnesota would be practi-
cally shut off from all shipments of dressed
meats. He awarded damages to the plaintiff
in the sum prayed for.
