TwEl.v C O'CLOCK LAW.

Wednesday peiore lull jury, but the
fate of the law, 80 far as this commun.
ty is concerned, is still in doubt, as the
Jury, unable to agree on verdict was
discharged by the court. The defend.
ant, were Geo. B. Warren and Daniel
Mcdonald proprietors of the new ga.
loon, and the compl lint fled last Satur
day charged violation Of the statute on
the night of the 10th inst. The Jury
consisted of Robert Husband, Asa House,
Henry Tracy. w. R McFadden, E. Nc.
L,ughln, F. W. Newton, D. L. Davis,
VIM. OConnel, L Heaps, A. veitch,
Jos. Cook and H. d. Spicer. There was
no defense interposed on matters of fact
but the unconstitutionality of the law
was set up and the argument supported
by frequent references t, the Declaration
of Independence and the State Constitu.
ton. This case was brought to test the
law here, and though plainly made out,
the jury wouldn't have it, their last bal.
lot standing 2 for acquittal and for con
victim. The matter will be tried again,
but difficulty will now be experienced in
obtaining jury. The best part of the
community say the law should be en-.
forced, but their views are so publicly
expressed as to practically disquallfy
them, and if the effort finally fails such
persons will have themselves largely to
thank for the result.

struction, 1t runs lighter and with greater
speed than any other. All the parts are
