Rnlinn- AVill Merely De
lay Final Decision upon
Law Points Involved,
City Attorney Says.
COURT RULE
In the case of Jack Iji Bine, ar
rested by tin city police on a liquor
charge and fined and sentenced by
Judge J. IX Klater, of the munic
court, Judge J. W. Knowles.
of thy circuit court, has held that
the judgment was in fault. In oth
er words, the $19 and nine day
sentence is passe.
Judge Knowles sustained the
writ of review secured by ia Bine
from Circuit Judge McCulloch some
time ago "on the grounds and for
the reason that the municipal Judge
exceeded his jurisdiction In impos
ing a fine or 19, when by a pro
vision of the ordinance, No. 941,
Series 1 :i 22. tin1 lowest fine that
could be imposed is 5."
The judgment of sentence as
made by Judge Slater, was there
tore sf i aside mid the municlpul
court directed to proceed and puss
emen.ee oi the defendant as pro
vided by the ordinance governing
the case, according - to Judge
Knowles decision.
City Wins Pointy.
All other tiueaiions raided by the
review were decided favorably to
the eity and it only now becomes
necej-suiy tor Judgu Slater to call
th' defendant before him and pass
a new nenteiicn upon him.

According to the city at tor ney
the effi et ol Judge Knowles' ruling
is merely n delay to final decision
upon the many law points-brought
out.
