Constable Sullivan Upsets the Dig
NTH Of the City Court

Constable Sullivan Upsets the Dig
nifty Of the City Court.
That "green-speckledn parrot, an account
Of whose arrest and imprisonment was pub
lished in the MORNING News several days
ago, was the subject of much amusement
and a general outburst Of laughter in the
city court room yesterday.
A sailor named John Tyndal, who claims
to be a native of Baltimore, was charged by
the owner Of the bird with having stolen it
from his residence on Bay street. The lar
ceny was proven, and Judge Harden sent
the sailor TO jail for ten days. Tyndal
smiled at the lightness OF the sentence, and
appeared well satiied with getting of 50
easily.
Solicitor General Fraser summoned three
witnesses to prove the theft, among whom
was Constable James Sullivan, the officer
who captured Polly" After the state
rested It's case and Judge Harden requested
the defendant to make his statement, Con-
stable Sullivan arose and said: May 1t
please your honor, desire to make state
mont, TOO -"
"Mr. Sullivan" said the solicitor general,
turning to the constable, 'please sit down."
James sat down, but in doing SO he told
spectator present that he was going to
SAY something in emphatic terms. This
Of the court, and Judge Harden, looking
gravely at the constable, said: "Mr. Sulli-
van, you are an attache of this court and
you should know the rules"
When the defendant had finished his
statement, which was a very plausible one,
Solicitor General Fraser told the constable
that he could take the stand.
Sullivan took copy Of the MORNING
NEWS from his coat pocket, spread it out,
and, handing 1t to the solicitor general,
said. Read that, Mr.. Fraser"
Solicitor General Fraser read the heading
of the article pointed out, "Polly Under
Arrest and smiled. Then the clerk smiled
aud finally everybody smiled.
What want to know" said the con-
stable, "is how the MORNING NEWS caught
on to the exact words which passed between
me and that parrot"
The query created general roar of laugh
ter. The soil itor general read the rest of
the article, and then laughed heartily.
Judge Harden was unable to maintain his
usual judicial demeanor and laughed out
right. Then the prisoner laughed, and
everybody else joined in the merriment,
while the constable grinned.
II Polly" had been present it would no
doubt have expressed its delight by giving
vent to a quack.
"Wel," said Judge Harden, when quiet
was restored, ~ am not Judge Of that
matter. and will simply mol. pros. the ISSUE"

FIGHTING rAR 7oLL-eATE.
The City's Suit Against the Vernon
She'll Road Company.

The Citys Suit Against the vernon
She'll Road Company.
The superior court was occupied all Of
yesterday in the trial Of the case OF the
City VS.. the Vernon Shell Road Company,
to compel the latter corporation to move IFS
toll-gste beyond the city limits. At 81
o'clock last night an adjournment was taken
until 10 O'Clock this morning. The after
noon session was taken up with the argu-
ments by attorneys on the leg questions
to be referred 10 the jury.
The city is represented by City Attorney
Adams and Norwood & Cronk, and the
shell rosd company by J. R. Saussy, ESQ.
The shell road company claims that under
the perpetual charter granted in 1883 the
city has no power 70 compel the removal Of
the toll gate without compromising It The
city denies the right OF a1y road cooperation
20 interfere with the extending Of its limits.
The case is one OF great Importance to the
residents OF thu southern extended portion
of the city and citizens generally who have
business 10 that section. Under the present
condition Of affairs persons have to pay toll
TO resch their homes on a public street,
while the Vernon road company compels
them TO pay without itself being liable for
taxation.
Quite a number Of lawyers and spectators
weae present yesterday. watching the pro-
ceedings with greaG interest Among them
were ex-Mayor Schwarz, Aide men Har-
mon, Cam and Bailey, Road Commissioner
Bourquin, aud several residents of the city
directly interested. The city attorneys
desk was piled high with legal authorities,
and City Engineer VIM had a profusion
Of maps rs evidence.
The matter Of the toll gate on Bull street
has long been complained of, and it was evil
dent to every one that the city would event
ually have 70 take some action to get rid
OF it. - a.
Some time ago the road company de-
manded'toll Of Gustav Kiesling for passing
TO his place. He declined to paw on the
ground that there was no law to compel him
to pay toll for driving through the streets
OF the city. The company sued Mr.. Kies-
ling for the amount claimed, and then it
was that the city stepped in and ordered the
toll gate to be removed beyond
the limits within twenty DAYS
under penalty Of having it torn down by
the marshal. The company asked for an
injunction to prevent the city from acting
until the courts could decide the matter,
which was granted.
The case is one of vital interest, not only
to Savannah but to the entire state, decid-
irg, as it will, whether or not a road COM
pany can prevent a city from extending its
limits because it holds a grant from the
state TO operate a road.
