MORE PAYMENT OF LICENSES.
The Hastings Court this morning adj
journed until July 3lst, when the par

non-payment of licenses will be tried
3 before a jury and fined. The law. in
such cases, imposes fine of not less
than $50 or more than $1,000. Any par
ty who desires TO escape the trial and
the payment of the fine can do so by
paying the cost and having the case
dismissed at any time before that day
The grand jury that indicted these
parties made report 10 the court that
4 they had been informed by the officers
of the Commissioner Of Revenues Of
flee that some of the parties have beer
conducting business in this city for twc
years, who have paid no license what
ever.
In the great majority of cases. how
ever, the failure to pay in time is a
matter of oversight, and not an inten
,.tional violation of the law.
