A CHICAGO PRECEDENT.

H CASE recently heard in of the Police / \ Courts of Chicago has attracted a good deal of attention from the press of that city by req son of the novel point involved and 1t IS worth noting here as the judgment given may serve as precedent for the settlement of similar controversy that has arisen i'll Sacramento.
 The issue is that of the rights of unnvited guest According to the reports that come to us certain Joseph Vesiczk took to himself bride and Tn cee- bration of the occasion gave feast to which he in yited numerous friends To the banquet uninvted came MT. Murphy, who not only partook freely of the dainty viands and the hedonc swzze but insisted upon kissing the bride. Reused to wrath by the un- invited inebriate the bridegroom seized large tank ard of wine, and after pitching the booze into the face of the offender, proceeded to jam the tankard over his head.
 Being thus blinded and partially muzzled, MT. Mur- phy could neither fight nor argue the case, and was sunmarily thrown out into the wide wide world of Chicago at midnight to save himself perish It is asserted that his muffed sounding through the streets frightened the police, but this not proved by the evidence given in court What was made cer- tain however was that MT. Murphy, after trying vainly to remove the muzzlng tankard with his hands, did in his desperation butt his head against the curb stones and lampposts in effort to break the uten- s thereby doing himself great damage
 In the end the strange noises drew the attention of the police and the unfortunate Mr. Murphy was taken to the station, where, by the aid of club the head of him was released from the tankard MT. Murphy preferred charges against MT Vesiczk but the court dismissed them on the ground that while unin- vited guest at bridal feast may drink of the wedding wine he has no right kiss the bride and that while in endeavoring do he may get damage, he IS not entitled to damages MT. VelsczId dismissed and MT Murphy was held for disturbing the peace
 The nuptials of Democracy and Popuism at Sac ramento were attended by Major Harney of this city and certain other uninved guests It is not clear that they ever showed any desire to kiss the bride but they did insist on sharing the swzze To them, to MT. Murphy of Chicago it happened that the swizze was thrown in their faces and the Mcguire tankard damned down over the heads of them, and they them selves thrown out to rip and about the streets and make the nights of Sacramento hideous with noise; -'-'- --'-
 Whether Major Harney and his colleagues will sue ceed in getting rid of the muzzng tankard in time make clear statement of their before the pagn enters upon its next phase remains to be Tn the meantime their muff1ed roaring will resound like the warble of the Examiners siren heard afar off Under the judgment given in the Chicago case there seems no remedy for their wrongs except that of busting the tankard and setting them free. That course we advise them to take They should not have gone to wedding that of theirs. Having gone and suffered the right thing for them to do now is to release themselves from the Mcguire muzze and live better lives hereafter
