OPPOSING TILE HrcKsrERs.
City solicitor Curtis determined to Dis
cover Same Legal standing Ground for


City Solicitor Curtis Determined to Dis
cover some Legal Standing Ground for
the City.
The hGckste.s' appeal cases Thursday
morning, have afforded City Solicitor Curtis
the opportunity which he has grasped of
opposing such appeal and Of testing the
position as 10 whether the city has any
logical status at all under the continually
recurring appeal suits passing from the
municipal court to the higher court,
The trouble has been that in all appeal
eases Of this ilk Of hucksters, of the Board
of Health and of other departments,
brought up in the municipal court the de-
fence has, time out Of mind successfully
sought refuge in appeal, when conviction
has been gained to the superior court. IL
is An old story and laughing stock
throughout the city that these appeals are
openly imperative for the cases as APP
pealed are from criminal to civil jurisdic-
ton, and there, of course, the case hangs.
The law has been on the statute books
for tho past 80 years or so, allowing APP
peals to be made in this way. The result
is that while arrests can be made. convic-
ton under an appeal is impossible. and
therefore the city laws may be broken
with IMMUNITY.
In the cases of violation of the huckster
enactment an appeal was made Thursday.
Mr.. Curtis gave notice of motion that
tue appears ne refused III all CdSGS OH Ilu
ground that the statute which allows the
appeal provides for such appeal to the
superior court, which is a civil court,
| whereas these cases are criminal and there.
| fore the appeal is placed in court which
has no Jurisdiction.
The motion of the city solicitor on this
important point will be heard this morn-
| ing.
All appeals in this connection from the
municipal court to the superior court from
| time ont of mind have fallen fiat OH ac-
| count of this ridiculous feature of the
| statute.
MIR. Curtis action is simply towards find
| ing bottom somewhere if possible, of plac-
| ing the municipal government in an intel
| ligent position for an execution of the
| laws, and of dragging it ont of the slough
| which II has been in for years.
In the present cases it should be remem-
| bered that east of Market street there are
| hut four legitimate curbstone markets.
| These are the farmers and truckers
market on King street between Second and
Ninth streets; the fish market on King be-
tween Second and Front, the New Jersey
market on the north side of Fourth be-
tween King and Walnut; the hucksters'
market OH the south side of Fourth east of
King to Walnut.
The present prosecutions are against the
| hueksters who maintain stalls Illegally on
the King street curbstone and on Fourth
street west OF mig. In regard to the law
in the case hucksters are not original pro-
ducers, they buy and sell whereas farmers
and truckers produce and sell. 1t is the
latter only who are entitled to the curb
stone privilege along the streets described.

West Chester News, May 81.
"And the West Chester and Wilmington
Plank Road bill has been defeated in the
House has il? Well, that news certainly
delights me-" Thus spoke George Faucet
Of DilwOrthtown, yesterday forenoon.
Our petition evidently had some weight
with the legislators. The road has not been
kept in any sort of shape for years, and it
is high time that it was being freed"
The bill rs first introduced in the Senate
called for renewal OF the charter of the
plank road company for a period of 70
years in order that il may complete the
road. This was amended and made to
read - years but finally passed for term
OF four years. The House then took it up
and knocked it out altogether"
We'll, remarked the secretary OF the
company. Samuel Hickman, I'VE have
one year vet TO complete the pike, and ii
we succeed in doing it in that time our
charter becomes perpetual. Ii, however,
we do not build ii in that time, it looks to
me as though our company must 90 out of
existence and the road freed What move
the company will make know not. The
