OWNERSHIP OF PRESCRIP.
TIONS.

A question of law has just been
settled in England. That is the
legal ownership of a physicians
prescription. In the English case
the doctor claimed that he was
himself the owner of his prescrip-
ton, and that he could require his
patient to return it to him after.it
had been filled. He held that the
combination of drugs which he
prescribed was bis property, his in
vention, and that the written pre-
scription was a mere memorandum
to be temporarily used by the pa
tient in order to prevent any mis-
takes caused by defective men,
Dry. The Court ruled that his
position was not sound, and that
the prescription, being the outward
and visible sign of the treatment
for which the patient paid, was his
property.
In this country we have never
heard of case where a doctor
wanted prescriptions back. But
it constantly happens that a drug
glst who fills the prescription pasts
the paper in book and refuses to
return it to his customer. That is
going to far. The druggist ac-
quires no property in the prescrip-
ton by mixing the drugs it pre-
scribes. His rights are at an end
when he has been paid for his
drugs. The prescription remains
the property of the party who ten
ders it to the druggist, and can no
more be retained by the latter than
any other property belonging to
the customer. Where the druggist,
under the State law, which requires
him to keep a record of his bust
ness, chooses to file away the
prescription he fills he should at
all events supply his customer with
an authentic copy verified by his
own signature.
1t often happens that sick per-
son coming from neighboring
State is relieved by a prescription
obtained from city doctor. The
invalid naturally desires to take
that prescription away for further
use in case of g. return of the
malady. He should be enabled to
do so, either by retaining the pre-
scription itself or by being furnish
ed with an exact copy of it by the
druggist.-Ex.

Acting Manager Levy Strikes a Snag
With His Outfit.
SACRAMENTO, Oct. The league lead
ers, under the management Of Reuben Levy
Esq, opened up a series of three games
here to-day. Acting Manager Levy was
not success as manager-player as he made
three disastrous errors on the only chances
that came his way and let in four runs.
Returns from the boX-office have not as yet
been handed in, but Rube probably played
an eTrorless game in the capacity of man
ager. Cobb started in to pitch for the
visitors ike sure winner, striking out the
first three batsmen, not one of whom even
made foul. After the first inning he was
hit freely and was very poorly sup
ported. Most of the errors back of him
were on easy chances, especially those Of
Levy and Smith. Yours Truly PeaChblOw
Hoffman Esq. pitched a great game. But
one hit was made of him in the first four
innings and generally when hit was
needed it was not forthcoming. Several
no outs and in each instance he
retired the side on easy chances. But
for one error by Hassamer in the
second inning the home team would
have easily accomplished a triple
play. Cartwright was on second and Pee
pies VI llEL men bi4Eg dtAtulBtFu a hbuDAo
steal. Clark, who was at bat, hit fly ball
back Of second. which ReitZ caught and
then doubled Cartwright at second. Pee
pies was then half way to second, and Hass-
amer threw to head him off at first, but
threw low and the "kid" was safe.
McGuirk, who has been sick for some
time, was back on first and played fine
game both at bat and in the field. Roberts
DATED in his last years form and laced out
single, a double and home run out of
four times up. Mcdonald umpired a strict
ly impartial game, but was somewhat off on
balls and strikes. Captain Cartwright did
not like one of his decisions and got mad
and then tried some dirty ball-Dlaying, for
which he should have been fined.
There was quite a large crowd present
and more interest was manifested in the
club than there has been in some time.

BARRY VICTORIOUS.
A Decision in His Favor by the
Supreme Court.

Early in 1889 James II. Barry, editor of
the Weekly Star, made some Observa tons
concerning Judge Lawler which could not
possibly be construed as complimentary to
that distinguished jurist. lie was sum-
moned TO appear before the court for con-
tempt and was sentenced to five days i'm
prisonment and to pay fine OF $500 or to be
imprisoned until the fine were paid at the
rate of one day for each 81.
Mr.. Barry went to jail as the court de-
creed, but refused to pay the fine and APP
pealed to the Supreme Court, which rem
dered a decision in his favor yesterday. The
Supreme Court says that while, on Septem-
Der 80, 1889, the Superior Court adJudged
that James II. Barry was guilty of con-
tempt of court ana the Judgment in question
was pronounced, yet on October 4, 1890, in
Department Of the Superior Court and
without notice to the petitioner, another
Judgment was entered in the same proceed
ing Tor contempt, which, after recIting that
the five days term of imprisonment had eX-
pred aud that no part OF the $500 had been
paid, proceeded as follows:
It's therefore ordered that judgment herein
be entered against said James Ii. Ba ry Tor 5000
ana costs, and that execution issue against said
James II. Barry for $500 aud costs 10 The SheTlH
Of The CITY and County OF san Francisco.
Wherefore, by virtue OF the law, and by rea-
son OF the premises aforesaid, II IS ordered, ad'
judged and decreed that judgment be aud the
same IS hereby entered herein against said James
II. Barry Tor the sum OF $500, with Interest
thereon at the rale OF per cent per annum from
tile GATE hereof until pald.
This Is a proceeding upon certiOrari"
said the Supreme CoIrt, to review the
action of the court IN rendering the last
judgment, and our inquiry Is confined to
the single question whether in that the
court exceeded its jurisdiction.
We are Of the opinion that when the
court rendered its iud Lment to the con-
tempt proceedings on September 80, 1889, 1t
did not retain jurisdiction 10 eCteT another
and different judgment in the same matter
on October 4, 1890. The first judgment was
hnal, and the only authority Of the court
thereafter in the matter concluded thereby
was the power to enforce Judgment accord
ing 10 its laws, 50 far as il was capable of
enforcement The order and Judgment Of
October +, 1890, are annulled."
But Barry has not only triumped in the
Supreme Court, but the Legislature at its
recent session passed the following act:
\ Judgment that the defendant pay fine may
also direct that lie be Imprisoned until the fine
be satisfied. But the Judgmen must specify the
extent OF Tie imprisonment which must not *
coed one day Ter every two dollars OF The fine,
nor extend 10 any case beyond The time iOI
which tie defendant might lie sentenced 10 I'M
prisoumeut for the oneuse OF which lie mas been
convicted.

POTRERO AWAKENED.
Residents Demand Better Rail
Facilities to the City.

To sound public sentiment concerning the
proposed construction of a street railway
which shall connect South San Francisco
and the Potrero with San Francisco was
the object of a mass-meering held last even
ing at the Potrero Opera House, under the
auspices of the Southern Heights and South
San Francisco improvement clubs.
Several immense bonfires and a brass
band, together with the interest which the
residents of this district naturally feel in
projected improvements, served to crowd
the house at an early hour with a thor
oughly representative body of citizens.
A franchise for the road referred to above
was refused some time ago by the Super
ylsorS, and the meeting last evening was to
strengthen another and more recent appli-
cation, which will come up before the Board
OF Supervisors for final action on next Mon
day evening. This application will ask the
privilege of constructing horse, cable or
electric road to South San Francisco along
the following streets: From Sixth and
Market streets TO Brannan, thence to
Eighth, up Eighth to Arkansas, down
Arkansas to Connecticut, thence to Soano,
down Solano to Kentucky, and then up Ken
lucky TO Railroad avenue South San Fran
CISCO
William Peatty. President of the Southern
Heights Club, called the gathering to order
and introduced as the Chairman of the even
ing George L. Shaw, who was received with
prolonged applause, and spoke at length Of
needed improvements in the Potrpro
Tile Western Addition is growing away
from us, said he, and all because we have
been asleep, while the residents of that por-
tlon of town have been hammtring away
at Improvements. The property ont there
is increasing in value, while ours Is standing
stock still. We are only seventeen minutes
from the City Hall by cable-road, AID yet
people in the city spe k of us as living in
another county. "Out in the PutrerO" as
they say in town, means almost as much 10
the average San Franciscan as trip to New
DIRK. This is because we have no rail con-
nection with the city. If we can get rail
road property will go up, for this district
has many natural advantages, and is most
desirable place Tor residence. We want a
railroad first, and then better sewers, side
walks and graded streets.
Mr.. Shaw was followed by Messrs. Dare,
Irwin, Graham, Hollis and others, who all
followed the same line of thought as
the first speaker. Supervisor iaber was
present, and in response to repeated cries
made a speech, which gladdeued the hearts
of the Improvement people, assuring his
hearers that the board would grant the
franchise, as there is no good reason why it
should not do so. Tue Supervisor was glad
TO see the people alive to their best interests
and gave them some valuable "pointe " in
the matter of securing recognition by the
honorable Board OF Supervisors.
After talking over street grading matters,
etc. and adopting resolutions asking the
Supervisors TO grant the desired franchise
the Getting adjourned.
