DOES THIS DECISION DECIDE9
BOth Complaining and Defending Hackmen
upheld In Part by Magistrate.

Magistrate Wahle sat in the West Side
court yesterday afternoon long enough to
give a decision as to the right OF public
haokmen TO invade a stand for which private
hackmen had paid a special license to the
city. Martin Frawley, who, in addition
TO paying the public hackman's fee Of $40,
paid s25 for the privilege of standing two
hacks in front Of Jacks restaurant, on
sixth avenue, caused the arrest OF John
DALEY, a public hackman, who stationed
a coach there too. ,
The Magistrate ruled that the Board of
Aldermen had no legal right to exact a
special fee for the use Of the street in front
Of a certain building. But he also held that
no one but the owner of the property could
complain il some n other than the hack,
man who had permission from him should
use that particular stand. Even then the
owner wouldn't have q cause for action
unless the ingrees and egrees Of guests
Should be interfered with.

By shaw's consent, Richards transferred

Among other resolutions passed by
the convention was one prescribing 4
