Mr. AItIitSTRONG presented several petitions from.
the residents of the lower part of the I oity complain
ing of dirty streets.
A communication from sixteen supervisors, rela
tive to the same matter, was also presented by the
same gentleman, and asked to be read.
Mr—ME:GARY doubted the right of Councils to re•
ceive a communication direct from the supervisors.
:They should communicate through the High Way
Department—this they owe as an act of courtesy, ftf
- •:for nothing more.
Mr. Bevis thought the communication should be
.
received and read.
. A motion was made to lay the communication on
• 'the table.
Mr. MEGARY wanted to know, whether the Chain
!, 'ber would be willing to receive a communication of
.complaint from one of the employees in the Depart-'
Tnent of City Property. He thought 'not; and why,
.thea receive a communication from the• Supervisors,
Who arc under the control of the Highway Depart-

After some further discussion, the communication
was read. It alluded to the•present street contractor'

Dr. UnL'En was in favor of accepting the resigns
; ton. The gentleman 'does not live in the ward
• which he represents, and has no right to the seat he
holds.
Mr. Wynn - mitt said that Mr. Catherwood had
'stated to him that he desired to he no longer a mem
ber of Councils. He assigned no ^reasons. The
speaker was sorry that there should be any debate
on the subject. There was not a member in the
chamber who Will more fearlessly., performed his
duty than Mr.-Catherwood. • • •• •
The motion to postpone was then agreed to by a
vote of 9 to 8.

Mr. DAVIS offered a resolution giving the thanks
of the city to the Blue Reserves for their promptness
in responding to the call of the Governor for troops
at:the time our borders were threatened. [ln the
previous resolutions adopted by Councils tendering
thanks to• the citizen soldiers, the Blue. Reserves
were accidentally omitted.] The resolution passed
unanimously.
I The Brond-street Railway:
Mr. Wanianni, offered the following:
Whores, a majority of the citizens along the pro
poSed route of the Navy Yard, Broad-street; and
Fairmount Railway Co., especially on Broad street,
do protest against the laying of rails upon the
streets named in the act of incorporation for a
through-freight, passenger, • and baggage-ear rail
road; the same being in •their judgment against the
• interest, concurrence, and safety of our citizens, and
should be opposed by all the available means at
their command, therefore,
Resolved, That the Committee on Surveys be re
quested to report at the next stated meeting all the
facts connected with the action of the Board of Sur
veyors relative to the grades on Broad and other
streets .proposed to be used by the Navy Yard,
.Broad-street; and Fairmount Railroad Company;
whether the grades have been altered, and if so,
whether any of the said Board of Surveyors have
been or are now engaged in the service of said Rail
way,Company.
The, preamble and resolution were unanimously
• agreed to. •
The Cleansing of the Streets—Renewal of
te 01st Contract.
The special order of the'day—the bill authorizing
the continuance of the contract with R. A. Smith
foroleansing the streets—was called up.
Mr. ARMSTRONG moved that, as a number of bids
for cleansing the streets had been received, the sub
ject be postponed for another week.
Mr. D'lncieny called the yeas and nays, and the
motion wati lost by a vote of 7 yeas to 10 nays.
Mr. ARMSTRONG wanted to know if the gentle
men Who had .signed the report would give their
reasons why this contract should be continued.
The speaker was quite abusive on the present con
tractor, and contended that, according to the act of
consolidation, Councils had no right to award a con
tract without advertising proposals.
Dlr. WI:111E1:i LI. said tie had signed the report of
the committee in order that it might get 'before the
'Chamber. He did net think the streets of the city
could be cleansed for the amount now paid the pre
•c: sent contractor. The committee themselves admit
• That the terms of the contract have not been corn
with. He did not think we should reiterate an
act which had proven a complete' failure during the
past year. -We should have• a department of our
own. He hoped no action would be taken on the
' subject at present.
Dr. Ihiram thought different from the previous
• 'speaker. He did not think that so large a sum was
necessary to have clean streets. He thought we
• Wobld see the day when we would not pay a cent
.for cleansing the streets, but a bonus would be
' offered for the privilege. The speaker contended
• that Mr. Smith had labored under many disadvan
lege& He had the job for only a short time. Mr.
-Smith now asks the job fora year, which'it is only.
fair that he should have; as in that time he can
'
affoid to put the proper machines at'Work. Make a
department for cleansing the streets, as alluded to
.: by the previous speaker, and you make a political
machine. Every man that drives a cart and handles
a broom votes one way, and every change of Court
.'cilmen makes a change of workmen.
• Mr. WETRP.RII.I. again arose, and said that al
! though he had not attended the meetings of the corn
•lniittee, yet he knew thestreets had - not been cleaned
.for eight weeks.
Dr. Harden again arose, and asked who were the
Men that had this afternoon made a proposition to
..cleanse the streets. Two of them he knew to be old
' contractors, upon whose head was already heaped
much odium. Would 'you give these a chance to
again disgrace our city t The speaker stated that .
when Mr. Smith took the contract he had to use
the pick and shovel, so dirty bad the old contrac
tors left the streets.
Mr. Mr.oanv hoped that justice would be done
him for having been instrumental in breaking down
the old contract system, and trying to adopt a plan
for a better cleansing of • the highways. tie noticed
that in four months Mr.'Smith had removed over
40,000 loads of dirt. The speaker never knew a case
where a man was more abused than Mr. Smith,
whose greatest opponents are the men whom he
succeeded. We are always receiving communica
tions relative to dirty streets, but never were so
many sent in before until this afternoon.
Mr. Grtirtono said the opposition to Mr. Smith
since he took the contract was from one source only.
He knew complaints had been made where there
was no necessity for it ; yet he did not mean to say
- 'the streets were as clean as they should be..
'Mr. Mroanv said that, as some imputation had
been. cast upon the committee, he would present
documents from the hoard of Health, Commissioners
of Highways and Market-Houses, showing upon
what ground the committee recommend a continu
ance of the contract.
These documents were read, and speak in high
terms of praise of the condition of the streets gene
rally since thepresent contract. The Chief Com
missioner of Highways says that the streets, "with
a few exceptions, have been kept in a cleanly condi
tion far exceeding that of other years, and under a
diftbrent system. The Commissioner recommends
a longer term for the contract, in order that the con
tractor may be warranted in an outlay of money for
'the proper kind of stock.
The vote was then taken on the resolution to con
' tinue the contract, and passed, as follows
. - YzAs—Messrs. Barron, CABBIII, Craig, Davis,
:Dickson, Dougherty, Ford, Ginnodo, Ingham, King,
•Lynd, Illegary, Uhler, Culler, (President)-14.
-.l%Lkys—Tilessrs. Armstrong, Baird, Dolman, Wal
lace, Wetherilt—d.
As soon as the vote was announced there was a
general scamper from the chamber of disappointed
contractors and other interested parties..
Bills from Common Council.
• The 'annual appropriation bill to the Board of
School Controllers was taken up and passed finally.
Mr. Wirrsolnir.r, at this time ofibr an ordinance
snaking a further appropriation of $2,400 to the
Gtiardians of the Poor for the purpose of maintain
ing twelve feeble-minded children in the Pennsyl
vania School for Feeble-minded Children. Agreed
le.
The annual appropriation to the . Girard estate
was read and discussed at length.
The bill passed finally as reported by the com
mittee.
The bill for the construction of the culvert 'at
Tenth and Filbert ?Areas was concurred in.
Also, the bill allowing the Independent Telegraph
Company to place poles in certain streets.-
Also, the recolution approving of the sureties of
John Given, City Conintis3ioner elect.
Also the resolution to meet on the 2ith—the day
following Lying Christmas.
Mr. DAVIS oftervd•a resolution directing the City
Solicitor to take such -action in law as will prevent
'nip Navy Yard, •Broati-street, and Fairmount Pas
aCnger Railroad Company front laying on Broad
'olreet a track, wi':l three-rails,- - for , the_ purpose of
conveying ft eight and passengers from Broad and
Prime-street dcrot to connect with Kensington

COMMON COUNCI.L.
The . nttendoneo of
.outSiders at the meeting of
Common Council was even Treater than.on the pre
vious stated mediae', and it quorum of members was
airesent at 3 o'clock.
The Republican members remained outside of the
railing, and 'dared to Answer to their names at the
roll call at &dock, the Democratic membds only
occupying their seats.
At 4 olelock, Blr. 1.1,' x moved 'that the messenger
be directed to summon the absentees.
:The CdAil: devilled the motion out of order.
Mr. QUIN then deeirett that it be placed upon the
, :minutes that he made such a motion and the Presi-
'dent ruled it out of order.
The Onion said that Council was not in session;
there could be no record without a quorum.
Dr. SITI.:S. I know the Chamber is not in session,
but he could riot heir , observing that the Opposition

The call of the house Was ordered, and i
The roll was again called, and there being a suf
ficient number of Democratic members present to
constitute a quorum, the ()hair decided that the
-Chamber was orgniiized for business.
• The Republican members then came in and took
- their proper seats.
Mr. FRxEMAN then moved that the name of Thos.
J. Duffield be called, that he may be permitted to
exercise his rights as a member of Common Council,
The CHAIR decided this motion out of iorder, re
:marking that if the gentlemen of whom Mr.lTree-. -
man was a representative, would exercise a little
patience, Mr. Duffield would be restored to his seat
In a parliamentary form.
Mr. Quin moved that the resolution declaring
vacant the seat of Thos. J. Duffield be reconsidered,
`with a view of restoring him to his seat.
- `4) CHAIR decided that a motion to reconsider

ago, be referred to a committee of five, with instruo.
tions to report on the facts, and that Mr. Duffield be
permitted to be present with counsel.
Mr. Luroit said he thought the motion was out of
order. , We have just voted to suspend the rules
to move a reconsideration, and we have no right to
do anything else but vote upon thematter befdre us.
Mr. Qutr then withdrew the resolution, and offer
ed another to the effect that the resolution be recon
sidered. Agreed to. •
He then moved that it be referred to a committee
of five.
Mr. BA . EGER seconded the motion.
Mr. FIZIMMAII said that this was a serious mo
tion. and rivals, in itehaste, the resolution by Which
Mr. buttleld was expelled. The act of Assembly . di
rects hckthis committee is to be created. It must
he dray la: Is that committee to be appointed,: so
that each individual member of it will be an opal,-
nent of Mr. Duffield l The act of Assembly pre
scribes that this committee shall be'appointed *as in
contested-election cases.- Even if this be overruled,
let there be a decency manifested. This is a matter
of law, a natter about which there is. considerible
difference of opinion. Let it then be referred to the
Committee on Law, if you will not submit to written
Mr. FREEMAN read from the Laws of the State to
sustain his position: "No complaint of undue elec
tion or false return shall be acted upon unless pre
sented within ten days after the organization of
Councils.” Now, Mr. Quin proposes to erect a
partisan committee, and to that committee it is. in
tended to present a paper, which is not sworn tq, and
Whose allegations are not fairly. sustained. We
plead again, this afternoon, for decency.- If the
gentleman from the Eighteenth ward is really dis
qualified from holding his seat, the speaker's vote
will be given in favor of the expulsion. We again ,
plead for order „and decency. We appeal to you to'
create your committee properly, and investigate ;the
charges with a proper understanding of the matter.
This paper which, it is proposed shall be sent to
the committee as -a basis of inveatigation, is believed
to be a false statement. On that paper Mr. Duffield
was expelled by . a party majority, who will no dOubt
expel him again, without -any further knowl&ist
than is contained in that paper. He recognized the
importance of Mr. Duffield being present this after
noon in his seat, and he regretted that the seat was
vacant. If he were here, he could make his own
Statement, and throw light upon this all-important'
matter. Let the subject be properly considered, and
let justice be done. - •
Mr. LEIGH said that the action of the Democratic
party to-day was singularly defiant of law; And they
have shown that they do not fear a ride in a prison
van. He thought it idle to waste words upon' such
men. They have adopted a programme which' they
are determined to carry out in spite of all regulations
of law and order. - • - - '
Mr. QUIN inquired if such language was in order.
The His Scarcely in order on a simple
motion to refer.
Mr. LEIGH resumed. The point he intended to
make was, that - the court had directed that Mr. Duf
field be entitled to all the benefits of a member of
Council,frod-this order was defied. These inen ap
pear to hare consciences, which God forbid that I
should hare one like unto them. [Laughter.] .-He
contended that these unworthy. practices would re-.
coil Upon the offenders. • -
- Mr. gem again called the Chamber.to orfter...[ • •
Mr. Loi;ofiLiN. I hope he may be permitredlci
go on.
Mr. Lzwirr again; at softie length, urged that, the
Council members proceed regularly and in order in
•the matter now before it.
Dr-Sizxs said that often a mountain prbduces•

bad got into the Common Council. It was veryievi
presen
• etiPir POO
did not know what he was talk
eiders his sent worth ireAm,,,,ena.b„,eryasi,n,sont
oberthetiourt, and in doing so, we find that our hands
are tied, because the Republican members stay out
side of the railing, nearly an hour after the time for
the regular meeting. The Democratic members of this
Chamber are. It is a principle of their
party - to obey the judiciary. They have never advo
cated a higher late than what is recognized by the
Constitution. It is the Republican party that over
ride' law. 'lt is that party that erect Misfiles; and
suspend all law for the government of the pebple.
Mr. Duftield's name is on the, roll, in accordance pith
the decree of the court. If he is not here to answer
to his name, that is not the fault of the Democratic
party. If he•is entitled to his seat, he will have it.
Mr. FnmarAtc, after some further argument,
moved to lay the resolution upon the table. !Not
agreed to.
Mr. Qunc thought that the language, used-by the
. opposition was of such a character as to. outlaw
them in the public estimation. A man who is weak
or corrupt is .generally more tender on his weak
points than upon any other, and when I hear a4nan
talk about the consciences of others, I rather. sus
pect his own conscience is all wrong: It is sakE that
we turned •fi mahout of the Chamber whom we be
lieved not to be entitled to a seat. When the court
said that that was wrong, the Democratic members
submitted, and .Mr. Duffield is considered a member,
and the eactimstances about his seat are to be con
sidered In order. Not one of us has questioned the
decree of the court. What right have:these men to
tell us that it is wrong to deprive n member of his
seat without noticel—men who do not 'scruple to
sanction every violation of law, that violation which
drags men from their homes and confines them in
dungeons for months without a hearing or trial. .It
is with bad grace that they should rebuke us, even if
we had done all they allege. We are willing to have.
Mr. Duiff.elci's case regularly considered by a com
mittee, and 'pet the opposition raise a new cry. It
appears that it is determined upon to make Mr. Huf-:
field a member, whether he is qualified or n0t.:;..-If he
is to be allowed here, the Federal Government can'
have as many of its creatures here as they wish.
(Applause from 'the galleries; which was soon
silenced by the Chair.]
The laws are- written, and we must carry them
out.. • EVen if laws are wrong, we must submit to
them, if the court decrees them to be executed.. He
deemed it a high privilege to have an opportunity
to submit to the decision of the judiciary.;- .
Mr. Fn XEMAN said that we had nothing to dowith
the arrests of the Federal Government, and it is idle
to bring that subject into this debate. He had not
endorsed them, - but that was not for us here to con
sider. What we have to deal with is the'case of Mr.
Duffield. • By order of the court, the Demi:Ml.lWe
members of this Chamber are required to "restore
blr. Duffield's name to the roll." !'
Mr. Luis: it moved that the committee be appoint
ed according to law, as in - editested goats: .•-•• •
The CHAIR decided the motion out.of order.
Mr. HARPER moved to appeal from the decision of
the Chair.
Tar. Qum moved to lay the appeal on the table.
Agreed to.
The CRAM stated that it was a rule of COunci
that all committees shall be appointed by the presl
dent, unless otherwise ordered.
Mr. Timm) had always respected the decisions of
the president, but this time he took issue with him.
The point taken was, how could he rule a motion
out of order, when that motion . has for its object the
appointment of a committee, by . order of CounCils.
The CIiAIR decided that his .objection to trie ap
pointment °ill committee, according to the order of
the Chamber, Was out of order at ibis time. i•
The motion to refer being still in order
Mr. Hanrxn' moved an amendment that a com
mittee of six, be appointed by the Chair, three of
Whom' shall tie - members of theadpalicareparty..
The CRAM decided the amendment out of order,
because iteontained a restrictive on-the priviles
of the president. , • '
Mr. HARPER then appealed from, the decision of
the Chair.
The appeal was laid on the 'table—yeas 2:1, nays
18.
Mr. Banc:lm then arose *and desired to make a
personal explanation. He had been attacked in
Council, in the. street, in the press, and even in the.
court, because lie held the'positions of councilman
and member of the Legislature. He would say that
he is not yet a member of the Legislature. If by
holding these two positions after the first of Janu
ary, he was disquallfied as a member of Council,
and that* fact. should be legally set forth, he would
very cheerfully resign.
Mr. STinif offered an amendment that the resolu
tion of 31r. Quin be referred to the Committee on
Law. Not agreed to.
Mr. LEIGH moved to adjourn. Not agreed to.
Mr. QtnN again called the previous question.
Mr. Srairsow moved that the matter be indefinite
ly postponed. Not agreed to.
The resolution was then adopted—yeas ZS, nays
14.
The Chair appointed as the committee Messrs.
Quin, Loughlin, Wolbert; Paul, and Bumm. Mr.
Bumm rehtsed to act, and Mr. Cavin was substi
tuted.'
The committee is, therefore, entirely Democratic
in its complexion.
Message Irons the Mayor.
A message was received from the Mayor, vetoing
an ordinance authorizing the payment of a sheriff's
bill for advertising his election proclamation. The
ground of the veto was that the amount was larger
than in previous years.
Mr. Iltrr.sini,vx offered a joint resolution, pro
viding that the next stated meeting of Councils shall
be held on Wednesday next
Several petitions were received in reference to the
filthy condition of the streets, and the Chamber soon'
after adjourned.
BOARD OP CONTROLLERS OF THE PiTELIC
Senoo3.3.—The Board held an adjourned meeting
yesterday afternoon, and transacted the following
business : A communication was received from the
Directors of the Eighth section, asking the privilege
of renting an additional school-room in the said sec
tion: Also, one from the same section asking autho
riti to rent a school-room on Locust
.street, above
Eleventh. One from the Fourteenth section asking
privilege to rent a room for secondary school pur
poses in this section. One from the SeVenteenth see
tion complaining that the coal furnished that section
contained about 20. per cent. of dust, which required
an outlay to have it screened. The Directors sug
gest to the Controllers not to pay the contractor the,
amount of his bill unless he allows a deduction of the
expense incurred for screening. Besides this, the
coal is very poor in quality. •
Mr. Leech desired to know wholfurnished the coal
and the price paid for the same.
Mr. Hunsworth, from the Seventeenth, section,
replied,Hiram Ayres, at the rate of $5.25 per ton.
"Has the bill been paid 1"
"Yes, sir."
A motion_ }vas made that the communication be
referred tone Committee on Supplies to report to
the next meeting. A communication was received
from the Nineteenth section, asking the privilege to
open a Secondary school 3n the place of a Primary
one,
in the said section. Referred:

THE SYSTEM TO BB CHANGED
l'ilr. Inch°, from the. committee, to which was re
ferred the 'system of instruction as adopted for the
iegulation.of the schools, made an elaborate report
on the subject, It was a long document. Whe'
about half read,
ilr. Fitzgerald said. the document is voluminous,
and so much as has been read seems to incorporate
some very important measures. He moved that it
he printed, and' made the subject of discussion at
the next meeting.
The report closes with a series of resolutions, •
completely revolutionizing the system upon which
the schools have hitherto been based. The most
important portions are that there shall not :be ad
mitted more than 120 candidates into the Central
_High Eehool at the commencement, nor more than
CO into the Girls) High School. There shall be
returned' for examination not more than 180 from

admitted into the High School shall' live in the
neighborhood of the grammar school from which,
they are sent. The-resolutions also assign the

When one remembers the noble ladies, who, moving
in circles of wealth and of nature's nobility, have
consecrated their, ,days to the maintenance of the
Citizens' Volunteer Hospital, we cannot doubt for a

or in degree. To all interested in the soldiers'

Sirocmg AdomENT. —A little school
girknanied Catharine Webb, was !seriously burned
yesterday morning, 'in the public school-houSe, in
Palmer street, above Vienna, by her clothes taking
fire from the stor = e. As might be expected, the
scholars were thrown into. the greatest consterna
tion, and it was only by the great presence of mind
on the part of the teachers .they were prevented
doing harm to themselves. The Child whose clothing.
.took fire ran about in the wildness of terror, and her.
.screams caused the scholars generally to &stile same.
One of the teachers was slightly burned in her efforts,
to extinguish the burning Clothing of little Miss
'Webb: 'The sufferer was conveyed to her home in
Otis street, • below Girard avenue, and mediae!
attendance was brought speedily into requisition.
It is very much feared the injuries will prove mor
tal. There should certainly be a circular wire rail

'and then to the `.Rappithannock, four miles diitant.
They witnessed the heavy cannonading of the 10th,

and the erection of the pontoon bridges during the
night of the same date. On the 11th (Thursday)
they crossed, and threw out Skirmishers, .engaging
the enemy's pickets, and were exposed all that alter
neon. On the 12th they advanced in line of battle.
some one hundred yards, and remained in that posi
tion all day supporting the Ist Maryland Battery,
(Snow's.) On Monday, at 4 .o'clock A. ir., they'
were relieved, and retired to the river side for rest,
their loss being but slight. The cannonading and
lighting was fearful, and also the sights and hard
ships falling to, their share since they crossed the
river. There was no heavy firing on Monday.'
COLLIS' ZOILIVES.--All officer in-Colonel
Collis' Zouaves, 114th Regiment P. V., remarks, in
a letter, that crossing the river, last Saturday Morn
ing, he found that ‘the other two brigades of the
division had gone into fight to support the Pennsyl
vania Reserves (General Meade),.exposed to a fear
&fife from rebel batteries. The 114th; the command
being given, made a terrific and irresistible charge.
The rebels, after vainly endeavoring to withstand
the charge, and after being reinforced, were com
pelled to take to flight..- Major Chfuldier was struck
by a piece of shell, and knocked from his horse.
Colonel Collis seemed to be everywhere at the same
time, and the.6lst Georgia will have cause to re
member him all their lives. - . Each and every man
behaved nobly, foreach did his duty, his whole duty,.
and nothing but his duty.

Yesterday afterncvn_a.carterwas brought before
Alderman Beltler by an officer who had arrested
him on #ight for driving a cart. over a lady at or near
Front•and Walnut streete. ('lt-seems from the testi
mony of a conductor of a car on the Chestnut and
Walnut-street line, that he had stopped the car for
the purpose of letting two ladies get out Just •as
• one of there illighted.the horse and cart, came pass
ing along, and the alighting passenger did. not ob
serve either. She struck against the shaft and 101,
and, before the cart could be stopped, the wheel '
passed over her lower extremities. Under these dir
cumstances, the officer took the carter. Into custody.
The lady•was 'very kindly attendid' to‘by , a gentle
,man in the vicinity. It was found that tha. ,wh'eql
'had passed over;the,greater part of her diet's, but
did not do her any serious personal injury." This
being the:caee, the carter was discharged. It maybe.
as well to state in this .connection t that people get- - •
ting out of cars at street corners should at least cast
a glance up or down the street. Drivers of vehicles
generally, when they sec a passenger car stop to .let
out a passenger, should be careful how they drive. if,
alongside of The car. Conductors should be careful
not to start a car until the passenger has fully
alighted from or•gained the platform, in getting. off'
or on.. It was only by the simple chance of luck
that the lady above mentioned had,' not received,
perhaps, a severe fracture of her lowekiimbs.

I$ 'NEW YOIIN TIII.R ADULTNNATED BY MIXING
WATER WITII IT
In.the Supitme Court of New
_York, in -the • case
of Jacob Fauerback, appellant, vs. the The'People,
a question of some public.interest has been deabled.
The defendant was arrested, tried, and convicted be-
Sore ..the Court of ..Special Sessions, under the act to
prevent the adulteration of milk; the charge against
him being •".that at the time of his arrest he was
adulterating the milk with water which he -had' in
one of the cans in his wagon." .
• His counsel objected to any evidence orweiken
ing milk by water, on.the greunti that the'-,statute
did not include such an act.
Judge Ingraham,. in delivering the opinion of the
court, held that it admitted of some doubt whether
mixing water with milk was intended by the terms
"to. adulterate milk. , ) The. evident intent of the
:statute was, as stated in the title of the act, to .
prevent the traffic in imptire and unwholesome
Whether the addition of water to milk without any
other ingredient renders It impure or unwholeome
is certainly not so clearly settled as - to enable a
court so to find, 'Without some evidence 'to establish
that fact; at any rate, there should be evidence fur
nished to the court, to satisfy them that the addi
tions were of such- a character as would adulterate
*the milk or render it impure or 'unwholesome.
That it,was not for .the court to say that such an
abet would be "produced by adding water,' without
any: evidence - on this point; that if the Legislature
had so intended,they,would have made . the offence
to ' Consist of. any.'mixttire- whateVer being made
with the milk, and that, whether the.effect of 'such
a mixture is to adulterate the . originnl article, is a
question of fact to be decided upon evidence, and
not to be held as a matter of law.
As the evidence in the. ease did not show what"
quantity of milk he had, fOr,what purpose it was to
be 'used, or' what the employment of the prisoner
was, what was his latent in inixingltovhether
for sale or not, the conviction was not warranted,,
:and the judgment was reversed. :! , •
