Guilty in soliciting sufficient money
with which to finance the Highland
street car system, seems assured from
the fact that already many OF the
Highland residents have stepped for

for stock. But little doubt exists in
the minds Of those interested in the
new project as to the outcome and so
far the committee has met with most
encouraging results on the canvas of
the residents along the proposed route
as well as other advocates of the nav
street car system. The opportunity
for the people OF the Highlands to
secure a means of travel into the heart

At the meeting of the finance COM

DAYS RECORD IN
 COUNTY COURTS

Chancellor A. H. Benners held in a de- cision handed down yesterday In the case of the city of Bessemer vs. R. K. Keife, that the license of s2000 annually on trading stamps is unconstitutional. The court holds that the license is un- reasonable prohibitive and unconstitu- tional because it virtually amounts to a confiscation of the defendants business of handling trading stamps. Under the terms of the decision the case against MT. Keife is dismissed and the city au- thorities of Bessemer cannot force col lection of the license.
 Practically every division of the county courts was busiy engaged throughout yesterday, although progress In cases was slow and consequently the volume of business disposed of was not large.
 In the second division of the city court the case of E. F. Brammer vs. L. G. Pettijohn Is on trial.
 In the third division of the city court consent Judgment for s4O0 was rem dered in the case of Mrs. Hulda Massey vs. Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 Suit was filed In the city court yester- day by Ykomas Medley against Sheriff E. L. Higdon and his securities, the plaintiff seeking to recover s10OOo dam ages for alleged false arrest on charge of violating the prohibition law. Medley ayers that he was unjustly confined in the county jail for three hours.
 Judge Lane is engaged in his division of the circuit court in the trial of the case of Albert Steele vs. Alabama Con- solidated Coal company. A verdict for the defendant was rendered by the jury in the case of William Leslie vs. Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The case of G. B. Mitchell, assignee, vs. Mrs. E. P. Hughley was on trial before Judge Coleman in the circuit court yesterday. It was submitted to the jury during the afternoon.

judgment of conviction for a violation of an ordinance or bylaw of the town or city; such appeal to be taken within five days after the rendition of such judgment and to be governed in all re- spects by the laws regulating appeals from judgments of justices of the peace in criminal cases.'
 It is true that there are other sections providing for an appeal from the re- corders court viz, sections 12l7, 12lS, 1219 and 1920 but section 1451 is the only section which specifically provides that such appeal Is to be governed in all re- spects by the laws regulating appeals from judgments of justices of the peace in criminal cases.
 In my judgment sections 12l7, 121S, 1219 and 1920 of the municipal codeare to be construed in the light of section 1451 and all these sections taken together seem clearly 10 provide for a jury trial where the same is demanded, as in the present case. The procedure on appeals from judgments of justices of the peace is the same as on appeals from judgments of the county court to the circuit court or court of like Jurisdictions; and the legis- lature has provided for jury trials on appeal from judgments of the county court to the circuit court and to the criminal court of Jefferson county.
 Section of the act creating the crim- inal court of Jefferson county provides that the judges of the criminal court shall try both law and facts in all cases of misdemeanor, except when trial by jury is demanded by the defendant. Sec tion 13 of said act provides that in cases of misdemeanor, every person thus charged may make a written demand for jury trial to the clerk of the criminal court within 10 days after he is arrested or taken into custody, or after the crim- inal court has assumed jurisdiction of said case.
 In the case of Freeman ys. Bridges. 123 Ala. 2SS, which construed similar pro- vision for jury trial in the act regulating procedure in circuit court of this county, it was held that demand for jury trial indorsed on the appeal bond was a suf- fieient compliance with the law. and that inc filing with the clerk of an ap- peal bond with jury demand written thereon is a sufficient demand for jury in the court to which an appeal is taken.
 Under the municipal code the recorder has all the powers of an ex-officio jus tiee of the peace, and has concurrent ju- | risdiction with other courts of misde- meanors under the state law. An ap- peal will lie in such state cases from the recorder to the circuit court of this county or the criminal court, under the general law regulating appeals from jus tices of the peace and ex-officio justices of the peace.
 The court has given this case the full- est consideration possible and has care fully considered every authority at hand, and is of the opinion that this cause should be remanded to the jury docket of this court for trial in due course of law And 1t is. therefore, ordered that this case be transferred to said docket ac- cordingly.
