Tho claim is on soveral judgmonts obtained on promissory notes mado by George L. Oy, Wroasuror, 1o Solah Reove, and by him indorsed to David A. Gago, aud by Gogo to potitionor. 1lilton alleges na acls of bavkruptoy that the Company ellowed judgmonts to be rondered ngainst thom by de- fault in favor of tho Commercial National Baul, on which exeoutions woro issuod, Tho Company flled an answer donying tho acta of Lnnkruptey, nud alloging that thoy had kad the judgments ontercd by default sot side, and Ploay outorod, and that, na to tho judamont by default, tha power of attornoy was void, sinco Otis, who gave it, was not nuthorized, Tho cata was tried, and ou the 26th dny of Apyil the Com- pany was adjudicated haukrupt. A petition for roviow was takon to the Cirenit Court, and tho declsion was renderod yestorday by Judge Drummond, revorsing the opinion of the District Cours. Tho Judgoe romnrked that botoro tho lato deolsion of tho Bupremo Court of tho United States in the oase of Wilson against tho City Bank of 8t. Paul overruling tlio caso of Buchanan v. Smith, it lind been hold that whero » party was insolvont and allowed judgments to Dé obtainod ngainst bim by default, without do- fongo, such an ack was suffering Lis property 1o bo taken in lqnl process, within the meaning of the Bankrupt Inw, and was the commission of on ach of bankrupley.

In rogard to the alleged insolvency, tho cor« poration beiug in the hands of 1ts oucmics, and on account of the peculinr condition ofiits i!rop- arty, it was ditlicult to say if 1t woro absolutely insolvent, But assuming tho validity of tho notes, thiero might bo n question as to” whether mon-payment thereof would bo an act of banl- ruptey, the Company not being n morchant or trader. Butit was not nccessary to consider this question, It is. belter for the in- torests of tho potitioning creditor that the Company should bo pormitted . to prosecuto ity own affairs, rather than bo forced into bauk- ruptey. The foundation of these proceedings being of such o doubtful character, tho Court did not feol disposed to decido the Company bankrupt. The ndjudication would, theroforo, ho roversed, aud an order bomade of tho Dis- trict Court to permit tho Compuny to conlest the proceedings of the Stato Courts and war~ Tants of atturney. ) This doos uot dismiss the proceedinga in bank- uptey, but scts usido tho ndjudication, nnd al- lows tho Company time to decido the suits in the Cirenit Court. pgaihsb thom, or tho'‘potitioning creditors can amend thoir polition, alleging now grounds, and obtain an ld&ndu:ntmu in that way.

City of Chicago, tho Bupremo Court holds valid tiio ordinanco which authorizes tho closing up of il snloous at 12 o'clocls at night. Ta the case ot Schwuchow vs. City of Chicego, tho Supreme Court has also. sflirmed the judgmont of tho Court below. In this case, Schwuehow's liconse Iiad been revoked by Mayor Medill after lio had beon fined for zelling liquor Sunday iv violation of the so-called Sunday ordinauce. The Mayor claimed the suthority to do this under a clauso of the' City Oburter which empowored bun to rovolo. tho license of nuy party who had been ** convicted of gambling, immorality, or keeping a disordorly houss.” "It was con- tonded by Geu. Stilor, the then City Attorvey, Defore Jndge Rogors, that tho. selling of liquor on Sunday was, undor thoe law, an immoral act ; that whatever views might bo outertained npon £ho quostion, sbstractly considored, the nct of sollinig liquor on Sundsy, legally considered, was s nct of * 1mmorality.” . 8o Judge Hogers hold, and the Suprome Conrt bas sustained his docis- jon.
