Judge Simpson of Minneapolis rem
dered an important decision, if the
same is sustained by the Supreme
court, on Thursday last. The decision
effects every liquor dealer in the State,
and is of especial importance on &C.
count of the necessity of bondsmen.
Judge Simpson, in the famous Stock
holm-O Olsen case, decided that bonds
given by persons in behalf of saloon
keepers, as required under the city Or
dinances, are penal and not indemnity
bonds, and the bondsmen are liable to
the city for the full face value of the
bonds should events prove the bad
character of the place and the failure
of the owner to make of it resort of
good repute. In this case Olsen was
fined $50 and costs for keeping open
his saloon on Sunday. The city sued
the bondsmen for $1,000, the face of
the bond, on account of Olsen's breach
of the law and Judge Simpson holds
that the city has the right to recover.
