THE LYONS APPEAL CASE.

Judge Lee to Render His Decision in
the Case This Morning.
The appeal case of Mr. John A. Ly-
ons,who was fined 5000 in 4 magistra tc' $
court for violating the liquor law, was
hcarG in the County Court before Judge
Baker p. Lee yesterday. who. after lis
tenng to the arguments. Withheld his
decision until this morning.
when court convened Yesterday
morning Col. J. G. Baker. counsel for
Rev. T. j. MacKay and the congrega-
ton OF the Second Baptist church,
opened the argument in the case ~
taking the ground that the case should
not come up at this term Of the court,
giving as his reason that sufficient
time was NOT given to prepare the ca Sc.
Judge Lee was Of the same opinion and
continued the hearing until the next
term.
Mr. Fay S. Collier. counsel for Mr..
Lyons, then spoke at some length in
which he claimed that as Justice Rich
alHdson had bailed Lyons in the sum OF
$500 for his appearance in the court
yesterday. The question arose as 10
whether Lyons should be sent back to
the lower court and re-bailed for his
appearance at the next term of the
county court. or whether it was proper
for Judge Lee to bail him. Mr. Collier
claimed that the warrants We're illegal
~ drawn up and that under those cir
cun1stances Lyons was not under bond
The ground upon which Mr.. Collier
based his argument was that it was not
stated whether Lyons sold whiskey
Without a State of county license; sec
ond, that the place was not given and
thirdly the warrants We're illegally
drawn upon their face. After arguing
for two hours, Judge Lee adjourned
court until O'clock, when Mr. Collier
completed his argument.
Judge Lees decision in the matter
Will be watched With interest, as the
case has been one of much comment in
Hampton.
During the course of the argument
yesterday MIR. Lyons, Who had been
seated by his counsel got UP and lefs
the courthouse. commemorative At
torney Montague called the attention
OF the court to the fact that Mr.. Lyons
had disappeared, and Mr. Collier re-
pied that he would be responsible for
Mi Lyons. The bail bond expired yes

IN court Mr. Lyons was allowed 10 so
