nEOhGE1OWN, Del, Oct. l0.-Chief
Justice James Pennewill, preliminary to
rouliag the opinion Of the court on the
g &C., tion cf the coastitutionality OF the
lfazcl anti.shipping liquor lav, in Gen
eu. Sessions Court here on Wednesday,
had the following to say: "rhe court is
prepared 20 announce its decision upon
the questions raised in the case, and ar
gued at the last term, but before read
ing the opinion wish TO say, speaking
for every member Of the court, that
nothing which may have been said by
any one outside Of this room, or since
the argument, has had the slightest in
6uence upon MS in reaching our decision.
II may be entirely unnecessary to make
this statement, and II would not be
made except Tor the newspaper contro-
versy that has heen recently engaged in
respecting this case. We wish TO say
that our decision wac reached and the
opinion / am about to read was entirely
prepared, al least a month ago, and be-
tore said controversy began in the pub
lie press.
And inasmuch rs there seems 10 be
some misconcsption as to tho proper
function and duty Of the court in decid.
ing a case Of such general interest as
the prescott Cne, we desire TO make this
further statement: This case must be
determined like any other that comes
before US, that is, according TO what We
believe 10 be the law Indeed, we have
no discretion, and but one duty which
is 10 declare the law as we understand
it. Ne do not make the law and have ne
mower or right TO unmake it if II was
constitutionally enacted. Under ouI
system OF government the Legislature is
the sole Judge cf what are proper sub

stitutional limitations; and the neces

cannot be reviewed by the court; it il
,xclusively for the law-making body q

What We desire to make plain is this
that the court in passing upon the va

The action OF the Board OF Assess

ing the wishes Of the Real Estate
Dealers Association. OF this city. and
entering into a contract with a New
York appraisal firm. the Lloyd-Thom-
as Company, TO make an appraisal
OF all real estate In this city has
aroused much dissatisfaction amora

citation IN particular. they claiming
that such an appraisal can only
rightly be made by them. and thai
the outside firm employed by Coun.

value OF the city property.
J. Bail Peirce, a prominent men,
Der of the Real Estate Dealers Asso-

when interviewed by an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter as to the attitude
the real estate men would take in
the matter, and In making statements
upon IL, said that he felt he was voic.
ing the sentiments OF many OF the
other brokers In addition to himself.
Mr.. Peirce spoke entirely upon the
assumption that the contract has al
ready been given the New York firm,
OF which fact he had already been as
sured
He remarked that the action OF the
Board in going over the heads OF the
city real estate dealers and employ
inE the outside appraisers. without
consulting them, would be similar to
the real estate dealers becoming dis
satisfied with something that Coun-
Ell was doing going to New York
and employing a new City Council
for this city
"some one suggested TO me over the
phone this morning that I ought 10 bo
