The history of coal is comparatively
modern. 1t seems to have been used
first in England in the ninth cen.

be injurious to health and royal
proclamation was issued forbidding it.

They were thereupon com mitted for contempt of court and sought relief by means of writ of habeas cor pus.

There are many points of similarity between these cases and the Ballman case, in which tho court last Tuesday decided that the court could not compel the exhibition of books.
