doubtless be introduced in the new

Albany, May S.-The case of Alex
ander Balogh, saloon keeper of New
York city, against Henry II. Lyman
the state commissioner of excise, came
up for argument this morning before
the appellate division of the supreme
court. w. B. Donihee and Charles H
Haldane appeared for the plaintiff, and
Attorney General Hancock and Assist
ant Attorney General Kisselburg APP
peared in behalf of the commissioner
of excise. This is an appeal from an or
der of the special term of the supreme
court at Albany, denying an injunction
order restraining the defendant as COM
missioner of excise from interfering
with the plaintiff in the prosecution of
his business as a retail dealer of intoxi-
eating liquors during the tendency of
this action and until the expiration of
the term for which the license was
granted, March q, 1S97,and under which
he is conducting his business. After
the case had been greatly ventilated
by the lawyers, the court took the pa
pers and an early decision is expected.
