at Ernest McLain it bit him in both hands.

cousin of the McLains who was at work

beived bite on one of his fingers. The
cousin could not be prevailed upon to be
treated by the Pasteur method.

A Question of Importance TO Our Mer-
chants Sill Lett Undecided
At the term of criminal court that
ended last week the case OF one Moses
Levy was on calendar. Levy was charged
with "a violation of the peddling law. lie
was arrested in this town in March last.
After the Grand Jury had heard Detec-
tive Amour and his witnesses in behalf
of the Commonwealth they made return
of no true bill and directed that the
county pay the costs.

III. of Chicago, Ill. 1t is known that
defense in case Levy had been put to
,talb, would have been that Levy is the
e. Tried agent of the company and sells
4 framed pictures as the property Of
lcomuany and, therefore, was guilty of
iolati IN of law.
- at why should the Grand Jury have
pred the bill? There was sufficient
~, ence that Levy sold the pictures
,,,a,lly, right on the streets, and from
to door. If these facts were so tes
lid to, and there is no doubt of it, then
,I,,, did the Grand Jury undertake to de
ho., line the question of law involved viz
~ ether Levy had right to sell as he
is regretted that the case did not &C
,,so, rial, for then the question would have
raised and settled, for this county al
',s t, as to whether, under the commerce
~ lse of the national constitution and
80 interstate commerce law, manu-
w .urer in one state can sell his products
in oCher states without being taxed. II
may be safely assumed, however, that the
result before the Grand Jury is just what
would have been done had the case
gone to jury. The case of Brennan
VS.. the City of Titusville, which went NJ
from our State Supreme Court to the
United States Supreme Court was re
versed in an elaborate opinion volume
1853 by Chief Justice Brewer, in April
1894, declares the imposition of tax, o.
license, in such cases as unconstitutional
and this decision has been followed by
number of the various courts during tn
last year in cases similar to Levy's.
But there is a serious side to this matte
in the liability for illegal arrest and in
prisonment If the law is as has bee
stated ignorance of it will be no excuse
A suit for damages against the City c
