THE HALLS WIN.
Deputy Judge Cochran Gives pecia'"n a"
the Lons-standing Market Case.

Deputy Judge Cochran Gives DECISION in
the Long standing Market Case.
The cases against William D. and
John w. Hall, father and son, charged
with occupying space in King street
market without lawful permit, were
heard in tho Municipal Court SATURDAY
morning, the accused being .defendea
by Horace G. Knowles.
Clerk of the Market Connell said he
rented the space No. FOG King street 70
Ell Talley on April 7th, and, through
a mistake, rented the same space TO
George W. Hall on April 22d Accord
ing to Mr.. Cunnell's statement, as soon
as he discovered the error he saw Mr..
Hall and his son and after telling them
q mistake had been made offered them
another space, few feet above, and
also offered to refund the money II that
was preferable, but the Halls would
not accept either proposition. the
SPACE offered in lieu of the one rented
to Mr.. Talley was one which had been
left open by the Street and Sewer De-
partment, being six feet in width,
while the regular spaces are six feet
eight inches in width. Mr.. Council
said be pleaded with the Halls for
about six weeks, but all to no purpose,
and, finding that no agreement could
be reached, suit was brought against
the Halls. When the case was heard,
however, it was dismissed by Judge
Ball, who held that there had been no
violation of law.
Mr.. Talley, when called to the stand,
corroborated Clerk of the Market Con
nell, SO far as he was concerned. lie
said he had been able to occupy the
space only four or five times since he
rented it. although he paid $3.50 for
the privilege, being the cost OF per-
init for year.
Attorney Knowles asked that the
cases be dismissed. on the ground that
| the permit gave the Halls right tc
the space, and if somebody else had .
greater right that was matter which
| did not concern the Municipal Court
He called attention to the fact thai
when the former action was brough
against the Halls it was dismissed b,
the court, which held that the ordi
nance had not been violated.
Assistant City Solicitor Cahoon tool
exception to Mr.. Knowles. He sait
that in the McMullen case last year
which was similar, the court had rulet
tina. the owner of the prior receipt hat
right to the stand. Referring to tn
dismissal of the former suit against tn
Halls, Mr.. Cahoon said it was dis
missed not on the question OF tn
validity of the two permits, but be
cause the defendants had been brough
into court without warrant. Whel
tho first license was issued, Mr.. Cahoo
said, the city parted With its right t
the spHce and any subsequent permi
issued for it was not valid.
Deputy Judge Cochran, who pre-
sided, dismissed the cases against tn
Halls, after remarking; THE cour
does not propose to be governed by tn
ruling in any previous case. 1t doe
not feel that the defendants shout
suffer from the neglect or oversight {

Russia has agreed to arbitrate with
this country the claims for damages
for seizure OF American sealers eight
years ago. England and Canada have
also agreed on the temporary Alaskan
boundary and Germany and England
seem inclined to settle the Samoan af-
fair in accordance with their respective
interests and the rights of the United
States. This somewhat extraordinary
disposition to settle all outstanding
disputes with this country is flatter-
ing, OF course, to America, but it sug-
gests that one or more of the COM
plaisant powers mentioned is likely
soon to spring surprise in some part
of the world and that it is thought best
to be on friendly terms with Uncle
Sam before attempting coup. How
ever that may be. the United States is
ready to come to fair understanding
with one or. all as to any grievances or
disputes between the countries, and as
to future events is quite able to look
after its own interests. But we will
not become too intimate with any OF
them.

matter OF taking proper care of them
when they are once made, and this

always at work. He lives in cottage
on the road and takes care Of section
which has been assigned to him. With
his harrow he fills the worn places
with flint and removes the litter from
the roadway, keeping 1t neat and tidy.
There is an inspector for every county
division, and all the roads are under
the charge OF committee OF the coun-
ty council. From beginning to end OF
the year nearly every mile of English
country road is under the charge of a
road-mender, paid to do his work.
