stand after the will had been formally
recognized. He was shown an order that
was received in August, 1891, from Bald
win d Graham Of St. Helena for no
tarlal blanks and identified il.
Mr.. Delmas adroitly blocked the way
for the Introduction of the docume ent in
evidence by objecting to question direct
ing the witness to describe the customs OF
his house in handling orders for blanks.
Mr.. McEnerney fenced about for some
time in his effort to get the paper in, and
meeting with little success, began TO grow
irritable. He accused Mr. Delmas of be-
ing over-technicaI and exacting in de-
lIneating the rules of evidence.
Mr.. Delmas replied sarcasticallv that if
the rules expounded by Mr.. McEnerney
were sound he would have to confess that
he had practiced the law for thirty-tw
years in ignorance. Yet, be added. he was
willing to learn from a gentleman who,
being so much younger than he, should
certainly have had far more experience
and knowledge.
Mr.. McEnerney took the rebuke with be-
coming meekness, and then started in
again trying to accomplish the interiec-
ton OF the Baldwin & Graham order. But
he was still unable 10 do so until Mr..
Delmas finally withdrew his objections
and released the young barTister from his
EN- barrassment.

ompanJ and have Bradbury arrested
and so a policeman wa, called and the
man was taken into custody.
Brad bury testified to substantially the
same state of facts. He said that he was
chewing a wooden toothpick, from force
of habit, and that involuntarily and un-
consc ously he elected small quantity oi
moisture from his mouth on the floor OF
the car; that he was ana is a healthy
man and that there was no poisonous or
noxious substance in the spittle elected
from his mouth at that time. He further
asserted that he did not DO this in any
spirit of defiance of the law but that the
act was altogether unconscious on his
part
Worcester's Household Dictionary was
hrstsappeaied to by Mr.. OBrien as an
authority to sustain the contention that
although Brad bury actually spat on the
car floor yet that be was not guilty of yio-
lation of the ordinance which prohibits
expectoration but does not, as the appel
lants attorney insists, interdict splitting.
The citations were as follows:
Expectorate-To eject from the breast,
chest or lungs
Spit-To throw out saliva or Spite.
Considering the matter from a consti-
tutional standpoint MIR. O'Brien quoted
several learned opinions from the Su-
preme Court of this State to show that
the Supervisors have no powers EXCEPT
those that are expressly granted to the m
by the Legislature. The power to declare
what shall constitute nuisance has never
been delegated 10 the Supervisors. 1t was,
therefore, according to the decisions OF
the California Supreme Court, held to be
denied.
Deputy District Attorney Black respond
ed briefly. He said that the appellants
only defense appeared to be that be COM
mltted the offense unconsciously, but he
did not regard that as legal plea unless
1t might be considered in mitigation of
punishment. The appellant adm tilted
that he did spit, and that ought to settle
the matter. He insisted that the word ex-
pectorate should be taken in its usual and
acce pied meaning.
The prosecution could not be expected
to furnish microscopical and chemical
analysis OF the spittle of every person ar
rested Tor violation of this ordinance in
order TO determine whether it constituted
a menace TO the health of the community.
The ordinance had been enacted to stop a
dirty habit and already the good effect
had been noted all over the City. Persons
OF decency ought to be protected against
the indecent habits of Doors. Counsel ap-
pealed to his 4 onor TO take notice of the
improved condition of the corridors of the
new City Hall, where ladies may now walk
without danger OF having their garme n Is
beiouled by filthy expectoration.

ment OF fine. In regard to the first case
Attorney Thomas V. O'Brien said that the
defendant would consent to a dismissal of
the appeal, and would pay the fine. This
he did because at the trial of the case
a lady appeared as a witness and testified
that she was present in the car, and was
annoyed by Brad bury's act. In Difference
TO her the appeal in that case would be
abandoned, but in the second instance
the testimony indicated that no one ex-
cept the conductor of the street railway
company was present, and consequently
the defendant did Eot feel any delicacy
in opposing the order for his punishment
In that regard.
Mr.. OBrien opened his case by reading
the testimony, which was very brief. J..
w. Greeniaw, a conductor on the Suffer-
street car line, testified that he saw Brad
bury spit on the floor of the car, and asked
him not to do so. To this Bradbury re-
piled that he had case pending in court
10 test the validity of the ordinance on
that subject, and asked IL the companv
wanted 10 get up another case on the same
point. The conductor talked with the
grlpman, and on his advice it was decided
to carry out the general instruction OF the
