THE THEATE? ResRRVED SEAT Cass. Comstitulionality of the Police Court and the Late District lature Questioned. The case of the District of Colambia against J. G. Saville and M. W. oy gd the Na | tional Theater, was called—Mr. F. L. Stanton for the District and Messrs. Merrick for defendants. This is a suit arisi information filed in the Police Court to enforce the provisions of the act ot the legislature of the District of Columbia approved June 23, 1873, and exhibitions in the sale et This act provides that after the opening for the reception or entertainment of persons of any show or public amusement for which money or other reward is received, it shall be unlawful for any persoa to sell or per- mit the sale of such serve any particaiar seats,or to mark or de seribe as reserved any seats which have not been reserved by the sale of tickets therefor previous to the opening; and imposes a penalty of from five to ten dollars fer each ticket or seat sold or marked contrary to the provisions of the act. The defendants, lessees of the National Thea- ter, were advised to disregard the enactment as unconstitution: nd they did so, Thereupon, they were arraigned before the Police Court. where a judgment pro forma was entered, and An appeal taken to the Oriminal Court; thence it was certified to this court for the final adjuiti- cation of the questions of law involved in the controversy. The defendants submit that the enactment under which thes proceedings hava been instituted is unconstitutiona!—null and void, and the proceedings themselves are unan- thorized; and assign the following reasons:—1 The aileged offence is not cognizable by the Po- ice Court, aud that tribunai is incompetent to exercise jurisdiction in the case. 2. The legis- lative re of the District of Columbia, which passed the enactment, was an unconsti- tational body, and its enactments are wholly in- yalid. 3. The enactment itself is an unconsti- tutional and unauthorized violation of the rights of private property. There are grave reasons tor doubting the constitutionality of the Police Court. and this point they discuas, referring to the third article of the constitution, which pro. vices that judges shall hold their offices during good behavior, and the trial of all crimes shall ba Ns jury. while the act establishing the Police Court limits the term of the judge to six years; provides that prosecutions shall be ca information without fnutctment by tbe grand jury or trial by petit jary, and that the ‘court “shall have orig’ nd exclusive jurisdiction of all ofterses inst the United States committed in the District not deemed capital or otherwise infamous, and all offenses Against any of the ordinances of the cities or laws of the Levy Court. They claim that this act clearly attempts to vest in the Police Court & portion of the judicial power of the United States, and yet it has been decided that courts in which the judges hold their offices for a term of years are not constitational courts, much less 80 are cour‘s unprovided with a jury. Admitting that the Police Court is valid, there is still the objection that it has not jurisdiction, for the inferior conrts of the United States are re- stricted to the exercise of such powers as Gon- gress has specifically conferred upon them, and are not entitled to exercise general jurisdiciion. Now, there is no provision to be found any- where auttiorizing the Police Court to take cognizance of violations of the enactments of this Legislative Assembly. _The Legislative Assembly of the District of Columbia was unconstitutional body, and its enactments are invalid. Congress ia charzed py the constitution *to exercise exclusive legis- lation in all cases whatsoever” over the District of Columbia. Now, legislative power cannot re delegated; yet, by the act ot Febraary 21, ;!; Congress bas attempted to delegate this power <9 this Legislative Assembly by enactin, ot legislative power and ‘Authority in gai District shall be vecwu in wuguecnve “SOM biy;” and “that the legislative power of the District shall extend to all rightful sabjects of legislation within said"District.” Such a grant of general legislative authority cannot be sus. tained on any principle of constitutional law. ‘This enactment is void ae being an unconstitu- tioual and unwarrantable invasion of the rights f private property, contrary to the provisions ' | | | Maryland bill of rights or magna charta, and the common law. From the fundamental prin- ples which guarantee that life, liberty or prop- erty shall not be taken ‘without dae process of law.” the deduction is plain that existing righta 0* property cannot be destroyed or impaired by supervening legistative enactment, even though @ process and a trib Appolnted to execate the of perty means the free, ti uncontrolled right, to use, enjoy, and dis- pose of property; and the right of dispo i bsolute as that of use and enjoymer lous upon the right, apart fro: those contained in revenue laws, which have always been held to be exceptional in their | ebaracter, are redaced to the head of ‘Police *and may be summed upin the i Utere tuo ut alieno non taedas-” | anner tha: thou wilt | t.”” Legislatiye = | | on the rights of property are vs ouly when they are demanded far the protection of the pul Ne safet health, the public peace, the pub- or the public morality.

The practice com- plained of, ard which tho act is dicect- ed. does not conflict with any public or private right, and is pot thererore the rightfal subject of legisiation. The pla ends that the Police Court is pot organized under the third article of th constit ion, but under an act pursuant to se tion eight, article oue of the constitution, con- ferring upon Congress exclusive legislation over the District. Consequently Congres has au- thority tolimit the tenure of office of the judge. That the right of tria! by jury dees not, under the constitution or common law, attach to mere | offenses against municipal ordinances or police | reguintions, like that under which the defend- anisare arraigned.

Sev- eral vessels are expected up the river, but therr arrivai is uncertain, owing to the northerly winds which are prevailing. Coal merchants complain ofa general degression in the demand for bituninous coal, owing to the light orders which are arriving from eastern cities, where many of the manufactories are making only half and quarter time. The prices delivered free on board are about the same as last year, but the freights are said to be much lower; that for Bos- ton ‘alone having been reduced ‘from $3 and $5.25 last year to S175 at the presenttime. Sach a reduction in cost to the consumer, with the Kght orders arriving would indicate a'strong de- pression in the mauufacturing cities of the east, where most of our bituminous coal is shipped.
