Thig decision is the first to go into the merits of the allegation that the court was illegal because te charter does not provide foi Its existence, al though it provides that the portion of the old charter which makes provision for the court shall be made an ordinance. The same question was raised before Circuit Judge Cleeton several days ago in a liquor case on appeal, but Judge Cleeton, while holding the court legal for the purpose of t.ie trial, did not so into the merits of the case, leaving that for the suit Just decided, and releasing the prisoner on bail.
