EVANSVILLE SUSTAINED
BY THE CIRCUIT COURT
Permit Denied to Gettysburg
Railroad to Construct Line
Through the Town.
;pcclal Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
EVANSVILLE. Md, January "A, 1872.
In the circuit court at Upper Marlboro
yesterday afternoon Judge Fillmore
Beall of the seventh judicial circuit,
rendered an opinion in the case of the
Washington, Westminster and Gettys-
burg Railroad Company agt. the mayor
and common I council Of Hyattsville.
which, unless reversed by the court of
appeals. definitely fixes the rights of the
municipalities of Maryland in the mat
ter Of the control of streets within the
corporate limits of these towns. About
a. year ago the railroad company con-
structed roadbed through the south
western section of the town without first
securing a permit. When the matter
was brought to the attention Of the COM
pany's engineer the latter applied for a
permit, stating at the time that the en-
gineers did not know they were within
the corporate limits. The mayor and
common council was disposed 10 grant
the permit, but when it was learned that
the company proposed to cross Columbia
avenue near the western boundary OF
the town at grade the permit was re-
fused and the matter taken to the pub
lie utilities commission Of Maryland.
The commission declined to pass upon
the question, deciding that the mayor and
common council had jurisdiction over tine
streets of the town, and that body could
grant or refuse the permit as it saw fit
The company at special meeting of the
council formally applied for permit
agreeing to construct an overhead bridge
at the crossing in question.
Court Refuses Mandamus.
The council declined to grant the per-
init, and the company applied for writ
Of mandamus to compel the permit to
issue.
On behalf of the mayor and common
council Corporation Counsel Vincent A.
Sheehy filed an answer.to which the COM
pany's counsel. Marion Duckett & Sons.
filed q demurrer.
The court overruled the demurrer and
refused the application for a mandamus
with leave to the petitioner to amend
within ten days II desired. No work has
been done by the company for several
months, and it is not known what further
steps will be taken in view of the court
decision.
