Interesting Point Raised in City
Court This Morning BY At
tOrney Knowles.
A LEGAL POINT INVOLVED
BASED UPON SECTION OF THE
CONSTITUTION REGULATING
THE MANNER IN WHICH AP-
PEALS FROM LOWER COURTS
MAY BE MADE.

Horace Greeley Knowles raised an
interesting legal point before Judge
Ball In Municipal Court this morning
regarding the manner in which appeals
may be taken from decisions OF that
body.
Mr. Knowles appeared in the interest
Of James Harris, colOred, who was SEN
fenced on June 9 last by Judge Ball 70
pay a fine of S100 and to serve one year
in New Castle Jail for an assault and
battery committed upon his wife. Sarah
Harris was taken to the county institu-
tion on that date, and is still serving
his sentence.
At this mornings session OF court,
Mr.. Knowles gave notice that he in
tended to take an appeal to the Court
Of General Sessions and based such ac-
tion upon section 80, OF the Ccnstitu-
ton, which provides that the General
Assembly may by law give to inferior
courts jurisdiction OF criminal matters
including assault and battery, and may
grant the privilege Of an appeal to the
Court of General Sessions provided
that in all cases the Imprisonment
shall exceed one month and the fine
800.
The contention Of the city solicitor
against Judge Balls granting am appeal
will be based upon two grounds. First,
that an appeal must be made within a
reasonable time after sentence Is inn
posed and inasmuch as one term of
the Court of General Sessions has pass
ed since Harris began his sentence,
that the application now cannot be con-
sidered a reasonable time. The second
contention will be that until the Gen
eral Assembly has passed a law set
ting forth the time and method Of ap-
plying for such an appeal no court has
power to take Cognizance of any sucl
motion.
Section is of the schedule of the Con
stitution provides that all the laws o.
the state existing at the time the Con
stitution took effect and are not in
consistent with 1t, shall remain in forcl
except so far as they shall be altere'
| by future laws This also will be
ground for contention on the part o
the city. The case will be argued be
fore the court Wednesday.
