THE SUNDAY CAR QIIESIION.
Important Letter from the City Solicitor.
The City Solicitor, in response to a, request
from the Mayor of the city, has prepared the
following paper, showing the state of the
law on the interesting subject of Sunday car
travel :
CITY Summon's OFFICE, 212 South Fifth
street, Philadelphia , May 30th, 1866.—H0n.
Morton McMichael. Mayor, &c.: DEAR SIR
—Your favor of the 2uth instant, was re
ceived by me on the 28th instant. You there
in inform me "that complaints have been
lodged before you against a Passenger Rail
way Company for running their cars on the
Sabbath." You add " that you understand
the question involved in these complaints to
have been determined by judicial authority,
and you therefore request of the information
as to the state of the law, and instructions
as to the action it will be proper for you to,
take in the premises."
As the subject referred to in your favor
Lae from time to time occasioned much
public discussion and aroused considerable
feeling, I have endeavored to bestow upon
it a careful examination.
The first legislative act of onr infant
colony was the recognition of the Christian
religion. It was passed in 1700. Judge
Duncan (in 11 S. and R. 402), remarks that
"Before this, in 1646, Lord Baltimore passed
a law in Maryland, in favor of religious
freedom, and it is a memorable fact that of
the first legislators who established religious
freedom one was a Roman Catholic and the
ether a Friend."
The act of 1705 recites, "That according to
the example of the primitive Christians and
for the ease of creation, every first day of
the week, commonly called Sunday, all the
people shall abstain from toil and labor,
that, whether masters, parents, children,
servants or others, they may better dispose
themselves to read and hear the HolyScrip
tare at home, and frequent such meetings of
religious worship abroad, as may best suit
their respective persuasions."
It then prohibits the service of process
'upon the first day of the week, save in the
excepted cases of treason, felony or breach
01 the peace. (Sec. 4, 1 Smith, 25), and in a
subsequent section, prohibits drinking and
tippling in taverns,(Sec. 5,1 Smith, 25.)
The act of April 2, 1794, prohibits the per
formance of "any worldly employment or
business whatsoever on the Lord's day,
Commonly called Sunday, works of neces
sity and charity only excepted."
The last act upon this subject was passed
Yebruary 26, 1855.. It prohibits the sale of
liquors on Sunday, and imposes penalties
for the violation of its provisions. (P. L.,
1855, p. 53.) It has no application to the
Complaints to which you allude. The legis
lation which I have thus sketched has, of
course, been the subject of frequent discus
sion in our courts. The only cases, how
ever, which now occur to me as bearing
directly upon the question at present before
yon are, Corn. vs. Johnson, and Com. vs.
Jeandelle. Corn. vs. Johnson is reported in
10 Harris, 102. It was a proceeding to re
cover the fine of $4 imposed by the act of
1794 above quoted, the defendant being the
driver of an omnibus, hired by the month.
It was there held, in an able opinion by the
present Chief Justice Woodward, that "the
running of public conveyances is forbidden
by . the act of 1794, but that traveling by
private conveyance is not forbidden."
The case of Corn. vs, Jeandelle is reported
in 7 Am. L. Reg. 615. 2 Grant 506. 3 Phil,
Rep. 509, and Legal Intelligencer, voL xvi.,
p. 364. It is not often that a single indivi
dual attains the legal notoriety enjoyed by
this defendant. Jeandelle was three times
heard upon the charge of a breach of the
public peace, for driving a railway car upon
Sunday, July 17, 1859. Before the commit
ting magistrate he was bound over. He
thereupon sued out a writ of habeas corpus
before IV - v. Justice Thompson, of the Su
preme Court, and after a fall hearing he was
remanded. The case then came on in regu
lar - Order before the Criminal Court, at Au
gust Sessions,lBs9, and was again heard
with great tienee by Mr. Justice Ludlow.
The learning upon both sides of this questio
vezata was exhausted in the arguments of
the array of learned counsel who represented
the prosecution and the defence. The re-
-suit was that the defendant was dischtrged.
This seeming conflict of decisions is easily
reconciled by the perusal of the two
opinions. Mr. Justice Thompson decided:
1. "That the law gives to the public the
right of enjoying the Sabbath as a day of
rest and religious exercises, free and clear of
all disturbance from merely unnecessary
and unallowed worldly employment, and
where the law is contravened in such a man
lier as to disturb that enjoyment, by noise or
disturbance accompanying it or incident to
it, it is a breach of peace."
2d. "That driving a public conveyance for
hire subjects the party to the penalty of $l,
imposed by the act <4 1794," the latter point
having been already decided in Com. - vs.
Johnson, above quoted.
With these rulings Mr. Justice Ludlow
agrees.
The remaining portion of the syllabus in
2 Grant reports Mr. Justice Thompson. as
deciding as matter of law,"that the running
of cars on passenger railroads on Sunday,
by reason of the noise accompanying them,
is a disturbance of the public peace of the
Sabbath and the rights of worship and of
rest, and the drivers of such cars may be
arrested and held for a breach of the peace."
It this is the law without qualification or
exception, then every conductor and driver
in charge of cars running on a passenger
railway (and still more clearly every con
ductor, engineer, fireman and brakesman
on all he roads using locomotives) on Sun
day is liable to arrest. It might be asked,
too, hew, if this were the law, that very
defendant was subsequently discharged—
for, beyond all question, he had driven a car
over a passenger railway on Sunday?
The answer to this question is, that Mr.
Justice Thompson was hearing the case on
habeas corpus. He was not holding the
Court to which the defendant had been
bound over. It was an attempt by the
defendant to obtain a discharge from his
xecogrdzance without appearing before the
-Court to wilich:he'had been held to answer.
Unless it clearlyappeared that the prisoner " entirely : innocent, the Judge was
bound to bail or remand him," Brightley's
Rep. 36.
An examination of Mr. Justice Thomp-
Son's opinion will show:
That the syllabus, as above quoted, is not
s correct report of his ruling, and that he
did not decide that "the running of cars, by
reason of the noise accompanying them, is a
breach of the peace."
The learned Judge was speaking of cause
in reference to that particular car—not of
all cars, but of that car.. He says (2 Girant,
510)*: "His (Jeandelle's) driving the car at
the time of the arrest was accompanied by
'.noise sufficient, as the testimony shows at
the time, and oy the experience of the pre
ceding Sabbath, to greatly interfere with
public worship and disturb the people along
"the line, and was accompanied by a crowd
of persons and some disorderly conduct, if
the witnesses are to be believed. I think
this constituted a breach of the peace of the
Sabbath, as ordained -and established by
the act of 1794 t • and that, under the dream
stances, an arrest was proper. And at p.
.512 he remarks:
' , The conclusion I have come to is to re
-fte e the discharge of this man. Ino farther
Aecide upon his case than to refuse his dis
charge.. Let the law band him over to his
proper judges at the proper time. They will
.deolde what is best to be done when they
ehall have 'beard alt the testimony in the
vase.” •
It is clear, therefore, that the Judge was
speaking of that case only, and in reference
to 'the testimony before him of "noise
greatly interfering with public worship and
(liana-bins the people."
Before Mr. Justice Ludlow the evidence
presented a different aspect.
He says ' in commenting upon the facts,(S
Leg. 1nt.514): "The evidence for the prose
cution fails to,conneet this defendapt with
the transactiohs of the Sunday pfeceding
his arrest; he is, therefore not responsible
for the alleged breach of the peace which oc
curred on that tlay, and we dismiss the tes
timony as irrelevant, unless the running Of
a single car, at the usual rate of speed is in
deed a breach of the peace—a question to be
hereinafter noticed and determined. The
evidence for the prosecution relating to the
occurrences of the day, and at or about the
time of the arrest, has also failed to con
vince us that this defendant committed a
breach of the peace, for the car which he
drove moved without Eictualnoisetedistur—
banes of any kind for a distance of two
squares, when the arrest took place."
The learned Judge then rules that the de
fendant Was not responsible for a breach of
the peace because a crowd assembled, there
being no evidence of a single act of disorder,
nor for the misbehavior of others after his
arrest.
He then.considers the question whether
the driving of the car at the usual rate of
speed was a breach of the peace.
The Court alludes to the fact that "the
cars were to be driven according to a code of
printed rules adopted by the Company, and
intended to prevent an actual breach of the
peace," and then say, "what would have
been the result of the experiment about to
be tried by the Company. is, of course, a
matter of mere conjecture."
As the arrest was made before "the ex
periment" was tested, the Court ruled that
it was premature." and that "the defendant
was entitled to his discharge."
It seems, therefore, clear to my mind, that
the avid awe before the two judges was not
the same. It did apPear to both that the
defendant drove the car on a Sunday, but on
the hearing before Mr. Justice Thompson,
the witness swore to noise "interfering with
public worship and disturbing the people,"
whilst before Mr. Justice Ludlow the evi
dence was, that the car "moved without
actual noise or disturbance of any kind."
This is a discrepancy which, unfortunate
ly, is not uncommon, especially in cases
where witnesses at the first hearing speak
under an excitement which abates before
the final trial of the case.
It would seem, therefore, from these rul
ings, that the mere running of a car was not
regarded by either Judge as a breach of the
public peace.
I have thus endeavored, at the risk of be
ing tedious, to present to you an analysis of
the legislation and decisions ruling the case
now presented to your action.
In my humble opinion the Mowing views
are deducible from above citations:
Ist- That the running of a railroad car on
Sunday subjects all the employes
of the company engaged in that
unlawful act to a fine of $4, and in default
of payment thereof •to an imprisonment of
six days.
2d. That,in addition to these penalties,the
parties concerned may also be bound over
for a breach of qhe peace where the act is ac
companied by circumstances which amount
to an infraction cf the good order which
should be sacredly observed upon the Sab
bath.
3d. That where the act is unattended with
a disturbance of the peace there can be no
arrest.
Chief Justice Tilghman presents the
whole law of the case in these clear and em
phatic words:
"The violation of the Sabbath is a crime
which deserves punishment, bat when that
violation consists of work without noise or
disorder, there is nothing in it like an ac
tual breach of the beach. (Com. vs. Eyre,l
S. et.. R., 347.]
I would, therefore, respectfully recom
mend that where the complainants qualify
to a state of facts which, in your judgment,
constitute a breach of the peace as above
defined, warrants be issued for the arrest of
all parties concerned in the desecration or
the Sabbath, the religious observance of
which is justly regarded as the corner-stone
of public morality.
Where, however, the evidence does not
make out a breach of the public peace, the
remedy should be confined to the imposi
tion of the, fine.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
F. C. BREWSTER, City Solicitor.

FORTRESS, M02 , 1110E, June 11.-A young
man, named George S. Goodall, an employe
in the commissary department here as a
night watchman, fell overboard from one
of the wharves, at a late hour last nighr, -
and was drowned before assistance could
reach him.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis appear to have no
lack of numerous visitors in their recently
fitted-up casemate inside the garrison,
which were assigned to her shortly after her
arrival here, but which she has until now
steadfastly refused, making fresh demands
daily upon the patience of the commanding
general for rooms in Carroll Hall, where
Jeff. is confined, and which have been as
steadfastly refused.
On - yesterday, J.L. Crenshaw, of the well
known firm of blockade-runners during the
war, was closeted with both Mr. and - Mrs.
Davis, remaining in thefort until this morn
ing, when he took his departure for Rich
mond on the mail steamer John Sylvester,
Captain Post. The object of his visit has
not been made known, but rumor says it
was only in a pecuniary point of view, look
ing forward to the anticipated release of
Jeff. Davis. Mrs. Davis accompanied him
to the wharf, and the lively conversation
which ensued showed her to be in good
spirits about something. Visitors and sym
pathizers now often call and have inter
view's with the two personages in the for
tress, always ending in -tender assurances
of their esteem, and an offer of assistance
as far as it lays in their power.
