RECORD OF COURTS.

An interesting case was tried in the second division of the City court yester- day. when Judge Senn took Up the con sideraton of the contest in the Pinkney City election. This election was contest ed by William McElhaney, who was de- feated for mayor by William R. Anderson.
 A number of witnesses had been sum moned and were in the court room. One of the pleas of the defendant was that the contest had been filed before the re- suit of the election was declared by the mayor and board of aldermen of Pinkney City. A demurrer to this plea was over ruled by Judge Senn, making the election of Mayor Anderson stand The law says that a contest must be filed within twenty days after the result has been declared. It seems a contest was filed before the result was declared in this instance and since then 1t has been several weeks, the twenty day limit expiring.
 No cases were tried in the first division yesterday Next week will be devoted to pleadings by both judges and there will be no juries in either division.
