aud John Crow The petition charges
the first named defendant with running
saloon and the last three-the Fl.
Scott police commissioners with ac-
cepting a division of the money made in
the illegal and unlicensed business. His
grounds for damages are in the allega-
ton that the defendant, Kurtz, sold the
plaintiffs father intoxicating liquor for
beverage, and thus rendered HIM inca
pable of providing for his family; and
that the defendant commissioners, in
open violation of their oaths to uphold
and enforce the laws of the state, re-
fused to compel him to quit the bust
ress, but rather arranged with him for
the carrying on OF the same, contrary to
law.
