PROPERTY OWNERS.
A VOLUME OF INFORMATION ON TIN
ROOFS FREE OF COST

If you have decided to place a tin roof
upon your house you should, in justice to
yourself, obtain the best possible informa-
tion in regard to tin for roofing purposes.
No property owner can afford to remain ig-
norant. when q whole volume of informa-
tion devoted to the selection, laying and
painting of tin roof can be had for the ask
ing. Messrs. Merchant & Co., of this city,
are conceded to be authority on tin roofs.
They have devoted much time, labor and
money in presenting, in readable shape, a
mass of facts upon this subject, which are
of great interest to property owners. The
constant inquiry from property owners for
these books evinces the fact that there is
considerable quiet thinking being done just
now by large number of gentlemen, who
have heretofore given the subject very little
consideration. What the outcome will be,
almost anyone can anticipate. A better
class of roofing is sure to follow, as natural
consequence. Awise property owner will
send for Merchant & Co. 5 new book; and,
after reading 1t, he will certainly conclude
that there was much that he did not know
upon the subject of tin roofs.-Philadelphis

THE LAW. LAID DOWN.

The Court VIII Not Allow a Wholesale
Liquor Dealer to Move-The Act OF
1855 Forbids Such Transfers.
Judge Magee yesterday refused the pc
tition of Joseph Rohm, wholesale liquor
dealer at No 3S Fifth avenue, to be allowed
to transfer his place of business to No. 13
Magee street. Heretofore the Court has
generally allowed the change Of places Of
business, and the refusal was surprise.
Judge Magee, in his opinion, stated that he
had formerly supposed it was within the dis
cretion of the Court to authorize such changes,
but on looking the matter up he finds other
wise.
With reference 20 wholesale dealers, he
holds that the act OF April %, 1855, is still in
force, and its provisions cover the matter of
transfer Of licenses either from one person to
another or from one place to another. Under
this law transfers can only be made in cases of
death, removal or ceasing to keep such a
house, when the license can be transferred 10
another party.
Judge Magee further said: Let me say in
conclusion, that am permitted to state that
any action heretofore taken by the Court at a
prior session, at variance with the conclusion
now reached, was hastily taken, and not in
tended to be regarded as a precedent for the
future action of the Court, and if do not mis-
apprehend the present views of our Judges, l
have no reason to think that there will In the
future practice of the courts on this subject be
found any lack Of harmony"
