VIOLATED A CONTRACT.
Hackman Failed to Drive Passenger
to Station After Promise.


Because he failed to fulfill a con-
tract a hackman was fined Friday by
Police Justice Pierson Alderman
Henry Cory charged that Frank Nc
Goldrick, a licensed haekman, had
failed to keep an appointment and
had thus violated the hack ordinance.
Alderman Cory arranged with Me
Goldrick for the latter to convey a
lady from Mr. Cory's home to the
3.12 p. m. train. The hackman was
at the station on the arrival of the
2.15 train from New York Two ladies
asked him to drive them around the
town by the hour. McGoldrick ac-
cepted the commission but left with
boy the order from Alderman Cory
with instructions to give it to another
Eackman. The lad failed to make
good and the lady at Mr. Cory's home
missed the train Alderman Cory pre-
ferred charges against McGoldrick
for violating the hack ordinance and
Justice Pierson fined him 81 and
costs. This is the first time this par
ticular provision of the ordinance
regulating this point has been before
the court.
