Commonwealth VS.. Chas. Hazen
This is a case which arose from de.
fondant being found on lands of the
Blooming Grove Park Association,
arrested and taken before Justice
Billings and fined from which de-
cision the defendant appealed and
the question of the constitutionality
of the act of 1871 incorporating the
park was raised. The court in
lengthy opinion giving reasons for
its findings says in conclusion
From what precedes we are not to
be understood as holding that this
entire act of Incorporation is void
because of its defective title. What
ever the body of the act contains
that is germane and naturally re-
lates to the subject expressed in the
title may be valid although other
provisions may be void for want of
proper notice in the title to sustain
them. That the penal provi-
sions of the act in question and the
provisions for enforcing these pen
alties are unconstitutional and void
for want of proper notice in the
title of the act to sustain them and
as infringing the constitutional
right of trial by jury. And now,
June 3, 1901, the proceedings
against the appellant are quashed
and set aside and the appellant,
Charles Hazen, is discharged by the
court"
