Heard.

The cases against the New Jersey
truckers charged with violating the
building ordinance by erecting frame

property at Front street wharf was
heard il the Municipal Court yesterday
morning, the defendants being Lewis
English, George W. Hewitt, John L.
Clark, John English and Joseph Fogg,
who were represented by ex-Mayor
Austin Harrington.
Building Inspector Cassidy described
the shed as best he could. He did not
know whether the boards of the roof
| were nailed down, but he believed it
| would not turn water in case OF a
heavy rain. Mr.. Cassidy said he noti-
| fed some Of the people that they were
erecting shed contrary to law and
about two weeks afterward swore out
the warrant.
Mr.. Harrington held that the case
was one in which fine should not be
imposed. Tho men, he said, first con-
suited Judge Ball, who referred them
to Assistant City Solicitor Cahoon,
and the latter instructed them to pro-
coed and told them that If the building
INSPECTOR interfered TO notify him. MIR.
Harrington made the assertion that the
Wilmington & Northern Railroad Co. !,
which, he held, had driven them from
its wharf by extortioDate charges, was
seeking to drive them out of the city
If they remained away from the oom-
pany's property. Assistant City Solici-
tor Cahoon took exception to this
remark, holding that Mr.. Harrington
should confiue himself to the record.
Mr.. Harrington did not like the inter.
ference and told Mr.. Cahoon he was nc
dog. I'm not one of your prisoners, y
he said. "Don't you address me thai
way" "You shut up Mr.. Cahoor
said, to which Mr.. Harrington re-
piled: "Don't you tell me to shut up
Similar remarks followed. whereupor
the court cautioned the two attorneys
to desist.
