Tho counsel alluded to tho fact ihat tho greater portion of Mesers, Chepin & Goro's business was made up of tho rush of thiraty thoatro- goors after tho play is over, 1le rofarrad o tho ~Yorions ovents in tha cnso,—tho possing of tho 11 o'clock ordinanco, itn going into of¥cot as law, Chapin & Goro's throo nppearances boforo Tanyon, and their nppeal to o Lighor court. Tho main points of tho argument for tho injuuction woro baeod on (ho do- sirnoliva naturo of {ho ordinanco as. ro- gorded tho busiuces it ocoutracts; that thoro i no real advaningo to tho city to press tho matter until aftor tho undecided point in sottled; thiat tho city canuob suffor by granting an ine junction, inasmuch ag it would bo ablo to sue upon infractions of the law eftor, a8 immedistoly apon, their ocoursonco;; that tha liconto containg n provision of right to soll iquors from July 1, 1872 to that dato 1878, to bo **subject to such ordinancos as ero now and may be horeafter in forco;" that such Iatter provision is mot are- sorved right to the city, to pasa ony ordinance it ploascs, but meroly a #ight to pass such ordi- nanco 08 {ho citizons may requiro,—that s, o reasonnble ordiunmeo. Mr. Asny thon drow n distinclion botweon the 11 o'clock low and fho Sunday Iaw, cheracterizing tho latter as involving n violation of morals, whilo tho first stands upon a naked, positive oblis gation to oboy what the Common Council comn= mands; and urgod that the city bas no_power to pess a law which tho necessities of tho citi- rons do not roquiro, and (Leb when such neces- sity is pwept awsy tho ordinance itsolf falls.

Taking tho licenso in viow of .m contract Mr. Ascy neked What 1ight hes the Gty to mako o chango in tho wmo pflor itn issuo? orgning that if tho city can restrain liquor-sollers from transncting business during cortain hours, it can slso re- strain ‘them from eclling during a longer timo than an bour overy day. It has noright to malko anychango othor than what the publio neceasity praduces, and no such necessity oxists in tho prozontcase; BIr. Assy concluded by ptating that ho asked for tho injnnction eolely on tho morits of tho unconsiitntionslity and un- Toasonabls naturo of tho ordinance, and to as- cortaia whothor tho city has power Lo mako auch ordinances, nd whether such parties ns hia clients can bo protected from vexatious suits or mot. ; Gon. Stiles followed, on behalf of (ho city, and ptated that tho rersonablencss of the ordinauco waa fully believed inby the Common Council. Complainanty stand in a position similar to that of hundrods of others in tha city, who might put in gimilar claimn with rogard to tho ordinauce's unronsonablo ehavacter. Thero is no ehort-out for Messrs. Chapin & Gore; they must await the #low action of tho Courts. Io. hnd looked in vaiu for n pracedent to the prosent application, but had beon sblo to find mo_tiuglo istanco. - Mho power of iho Common Council to make tho * law s unquestion- ed; thoy aro aliowed to license, rogu- luto and restrain " liquor-gellers, and the ordi- nanco in question i 6 regulating and restrain- ing ordinznce, 1o considerod that there was 10 nrgument in complainaut’s caso, and he too ud Leen unable to produce an authorily in sup- port of his application. ; “After momo further remnrks by tho counsol for sthio complainant, the Court decided {o take tha matter under advisoment.
