Boston Wool Market.

Boston. Feb %. 1909.
The receipts of wool for the week were
6,S56.1l0 bales of foreign and /, 73o.53S bales
domestic. against 1,6gB.139 bales foreign
and 1lSi.173 bales domestic for the same
time last year.
REMARKS: The wool market does
not change much. The inquiry is fairly
good. but dealers have not much domes-
tic wool left to sell and most of the wool
secured in foreign markets for local
houses is still in transit: sales, there
fore. are limited by the rather meager
offerings. But the fact that supplies are
so small and that there is some inquiry
gives the market a strong undertone,
and the manufacturer in need of any
wool generally has to pay the price
asked Much of what business there has
oeen during the past week has been in
soreign woods. South American cross
,reds have sold very well and there has
heen fair amount of activity in New
Zealand crossbreds. as we'll as some
,eod-sized transfers of Australian
mernos.

Novel Case From Bourbon De-
cided in Court OF Appeals

The right of the Governor of Ken
lucky to grant pardon for violation
of city ordinance was denied by the
Court of Appeals Wednesday in an
opinion written by Judge Barker. The
of the city of Paris against E. L. Hin
ton, as Judge and Clerk of Paris Po-
lice Court.
The case was a novel one and was
the first of the kind presented to the
Court of Appeals for consideration, in
volving the extent of the pardoning
power of the Governor. The facts in
the case are as follows:
On April A, 1907, H. N. HORNE was
presented and tried in the Paris Police
Court for the violation of a city ordi-
nance prescribing a penalty for the one
of disorGerly conduct, and upon his plea
Of guilty was fined $50 and costs.
After judgment was entered a re-
plevin bonG for the amount was execut-
ed by HORNE, with ]. II. Haggard as
surely. This bond became due on July
4, 1907, and payment not being made
at that time, was turned over by the
Chief of Police to the City Attorney
for collection.
On July 70, 1907, three weeks after
the maturity of the bond, a pardon was
granted by the Governor, re hitting
the judgment IN the Police Court, this
pardon was presented to thei City At
torney when the latter demanded pay
ment of the surety.
Mayor O'Brien refused to recognize
the validity of the pardon and ordered
the CitV A ttOrneV to demand en- exc
cution on the bond from Judge Hinton.
This demand was refused, and manda-
mus proceedings were instituted in the
Bourbon Circuit Court to require Judge
Hinton to issue an execution in order
to collect the bond.
Judge Stout ruled in favor Of Judge
Hinton, and from that decision this ap
peal was prosecuted. Judge Barker, of
the Court of Appeals, holds that the
Governor has no power to pardon the
offense or remit the fine where it was
imposed for violation of municipal or
dinance.
