Forge if he put a barrel in my cellar
and then | went home
When asked upon cross examination
as to what he had said at the Rock
away hotel, where he met the other
COuncilmen mentioned, he answered.
THE understanding was first we would
get what the people wanted, and then
If they wanted to pay our expenses
they would pay more than hundred
dollars; that was the understanding.
1t appears that Mr.. Staff had been
informed by someone that Mr.. Gal
lagher had been told that the council
men were all poor men, and that II
would be nothing but right for the COM
pany to pay the expenses of their elec-
ton, and Mr.. Gallagher himself stated
| to Mr.. Staff that the company reckoned
to pay the councils election expenses.
1t appears from the testimony that Mr..
Monroe, Mr.. Staff and Mr.. Gallagher
were among the councilmen who voted
| in favor of the ordinance; Mr. Coyne
voted against it,

TT THROWS A CLOUD.

Without intending to prejudice the
final disposition of the case, the evil
dence as it now stands throws such
cloud upon the ordinance in question
that at this preliminary stage of the
case it should be treated as If II had
been procured by bribery, and If that
position be correct then the present in
junction must be continued Where
the consent of a supervisor to the use
Of a township road by an electric rail
way company was given in cOnsidera-
tion Of the promise of the railway com
pany to provide employment for the
supervisor and his son at an agree i
price per day. ii is a plain case of
bribery and the consent is invalid.

WERE GIVEN BOOKS.

In addition to the circumstances men
toned is the fact that at least nVe
members of the council, all except MT.
BianCardi and Mr.. Kilcoyne, were given
ticket books or pass books containing
one hundred tickets, by Mr.. Gallagher.
To Mr.. Stevens he gave the pass while
they were at Babylon and where Mr.
stevens was trying to explain to Mr.,
Gala CHER where one of the retaining
walls, a part of the railway cOnstruc-
ton was TO be built. Mr.. Gallagher,
another councilman. was given ticket
book while in conversation concerning
the ordinance with p. w. Gallagher in
the council room. Mr. Monroe testifies
that he received a pass-book from MI.
Gallagher a the meeting at which the
burgess veto was read and immedi-
ately after he had voted to pass the
ordinance over the veto. Mr.. Coyne
also had received pass book, althOugh
il appears that he voted against the
ordinance, whether for the reason sug-
gested in his testimony does not APP
pear.
1t was argued by counsel for the de-
fendant that il is customary to turnlsh
councilmen with free passes. The Gus
tom is unWholesome and perniclous,
, and the sooner ii is broken up the bel
ter il will be for the community. 1t is
i'm direct violation of Section s. Article

/ provides that "No railroad, railway OF

The authorities sustain us in this po-

case - Pa, II, the following title
of an Act of Assembly, passed in 1871.
was considered sufficient: AN Act

property between the county of Allie

can do no better than repeat the Lam

THE course of decision i'm this court

intent of the amendment of 1864, as to
the title and subject of bills, instead
of rssorting TO sharp criticism, which
