Sunday Carriages.--The Opinion of the
Yesterday at two o'clock., was the hour ap
pointed for the rendition of the opinion of the
Mayor in the Sunday carriage cases, at which
time he gave the following decision
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, vs. Jacob
Oesterlic.
The defendant was arrested on oath of officer
James Reed, charged with performing worldly
business or employment on Oct. 2, 185 ( 1, being
the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday, the
same not being a work of necessity or charity.
This proceeding is under the Act of 1794,
which is in the following language, viz
"If any person Shall do or perform any
worldly employment or business whatsoever on
the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday, works
of necessity and charity only excepted, shall
use or practice any unlawful game, hunting,
shooting, sport or diversion whatsoever on the
same day, and be convicted thereof, every such
person so offending shall, for every such offence,
forfeit and pay four dollars, to be levied by
distress : or in case he or she shall refuse or
neglect to pay the said sum, or goode and chat
tell cannot be found, whereof to levy the same
by distress, he or she shall suffer six days im
prisonment, in the House of Correction of the
proper county. Provided always. That nothing
herein contained shall be construed to prohibit
the dressing of victuals in private families,
bake-houses, lodging-houses, inns, and other
houses of entertainment, for the use of sojourn
ers, travellers, or strangers, or to hinder
wstermen from landing their passengers, or
ferrymen from carrying over the water trav
elers or persons removing with their families
on the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday,
nor the delivery of milk or the necessaries of
life, before nine o'clock in the forenoon, nor
after five o'clock in the afternoon of the same
day."
By a supplement to this Act, approved the
2t3th day of April, 1855, the penalty for a vio
lation of the law was increased to 525 in this
county.
From the evidence, it appears that the de
fendant, Jacob 4Oesterlie, was in the employ of
Hon. Walter H. Lowrie, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, attending to the garden, work
about the horses and driving- the carriage ,to
church, and that he drove the carriage of his
employer to church on Sunday, Oct. 2, 1859.
That after driving the carriage to church, he
put the horses in a livery stable and had the
privilege of going to church himself if he de
sired. It further appeared that be was em
ployed and paid by the month. There is no
dispute as to the facts under these circumstan
ces is the defendant guilty of a violation of the
law?
I have given to this question the considera
tion its importance obviously demands, in order
that I may conscientiously and understanding
/5" discharge my duty as a magistrate in the
premises. The Act of Assembly is clear and
unambiguous in its terms,and forbids all world
ly employment whatever, excepting those par
ticular works of necessity or charity therein
enumerated; within some of the exceptions
mentioned in the Act, does the defendant fall?
It appears from the testimony that the de
fendant was engaged in his usual worldly avo
cation of driving on the Sabbath day, for hire
and reward, receiving his pay monthly for the
same. In the case of Kepner vs. Keepfer,
Watts, Page 233, it is laid down by our Su
preme Court, "That the words of our Act of
Assembly, are sufficient to embrace any species
of worldly business not therein specially except
ed, whether it appertains to, or be in the exer
cise of a person's ordinary calling or not."
It is very manifest, therefore, that carriage
driving is a forbidden business unless it fall
within the scope and meaning of a work of
"necessity or charity." It is impossible, as
has been well said, to lay down any general
rule as to what constitutes works of this kind.
To construe necessity and charity to mean con
venience, would be, in the language of Judge
Woodward, to emasculate the statute, and
sweep away the guards which the Legislature
threw around the public morals. In the pres
ent case the driving of a carriage does not ap
pear to have been anything more than a mere
convenience,to enable its occupants or owners,
resident a short distance from the city, to reach
a church equally accessible by other and more
primitive means, which as far as the driver and
animals are concerned, who were thus made to
-`do work on the Sabbath day," involved a
violation of the express command of the Deca
logue:
Religious rest and the public worship of
Almighty God, are the objects for which the
Sabbath has been instituted, and its holy ob
servance is a duty enjoined on all, rich and
poor, high and low, withoutdistinction. It is
true that Judge Woodward, in the case of
Johnston vs. the Commonwealth, reported,
uses the following language. •' Hence,:if an
invalid, or a person immursed for six days
within the close walls of a city, requires a ride
into the country as a means of recuperation,
which is the true idea of rest, there is nothing
in the Act of 1794 to forbid the employment of
a driver, horses and carriage, on Sunday, to
accomplish
This might exemplify the "idea of resf' as
far as the " invalid" himself was concerned, but
it is respectfully submitted that it would not
be viewed in that alluring light by the driver
who drove the vehicle, or the horses who, af
ter the labors of the week, were thus compelled
to minister to the enjoyment of the pampered
valetudinarian who rode within. '
In the same case the Supreme Court decided
that, "a contract of hiring by the month does
not is bind the hireling to work on
Sunday; and if his work be such as the statute
forbids, an express agreement to perform it
will not protect him, for such a contract is
void."
=EN
MEN
On the whole, therefore, I am of the opinion
that the defendant, not being engaged in any
_work of necessity.or charity, as mentioned in
the Act, is answerable to the violated law, and
that lie must pay the penalty it exacts.
Judgment will therefore be entered against
the defendant for the penalty of $2O.
The case of the other defendant, James
Nesmith, I dispense of in the same manner as
referred to.
DISCHARGED.—The parties charged with the
late riot at Bausman's coal pits, were before
Alderman Lewis, yesterday afternoon for
hearing. The persona who laid the informa
tion, having expressed a desire to relinquish
the 'prosecution. They were all discharged on
payment of the costs.

Court of Quarter Sessions
Before Judges M'Clure, Maynard and Parke
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12th.
At the assembling of Court this morning,
Judge McClure charged the jury in the case of
Robert Brooks, charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill, in stabbing his
brother-in-law, John Kerr, while in bed in
Allegheny. His honor made some general
remarks on circumstantial evidence and defined
the law governing the offence. The jury found
a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to
the mercy of the Court, and the prisoner was
remandedfor sentence.
The jury now proceeded to inquire into the
sanity of John Howdenshiold, who had threat.
ened and abused his wife while laboring under
insanity, which fact being shown he was con
signed to the Hospital. "
Jackson Linch was held in $lOll to keep the
peace toward his wife.
Commonwealth vs. Caspar Fink ; indict
ment fornication and bastardy, on oath of
Wilhelmina Heck, who had given birth to a
child in August last, which died about a week
since. The jury found the accused guilty, and
he was sentenced to pay $5O for the eiprnses
of the mother during her illness, and $2O for
its support while it lived.
John W. Karns, a conducter on the Citizen's.
Passenger Railway, was indicted for assault and
battery on John Mulhatton acdJohn Campbell,
both charges being tried together. The alleged
offense was committed on the 20th of Septem
ber, whs,n, according to the testimony of the
prosecuting witnesses, as they were loading a
wagon on 'Penn street, the wagon standing in
the track, Karns, with car No. 6, came along
and requested them to leave the track, which
they did not do at once, when defendant seized
the horse and at the same time knocked Mul
hatton down. When Campbell jumped off the
wagon and went up to the horse's head, Karns
also knocked him down.
For the defence passengers in the car testi
fied that they heard the signal given to clear
the track, and when the car stopped saw Karns
jump off to move a horse from be track He
asked plaintiffs, courteously, td` remove their
horse : when they refused, he seized the horse's
head, at which time Campbell jumped from the
wagon, and he and Mulhatton run toward
Karns and pushed him backwards. Karns
again seized the horse, when Mulhatton ap
proached in fighting attitude and Karns knock
ed him down. Campbell calm- up, was struck
at, but not hit. The bystanders encouraged
plaintiffs to allow the horse to remain on the
track, when Karns picked up a stick, removed
the horse, and the car proceeded.
Judge M'Clure, in charging the jury, said
that the plaintiffs were clearly wrong in ob
structing the roadway, and that Earns acted
properly in removing the horse and wagon --
The road was built for public convenience and
travel and as the cars could only travel on the
track, and the wagons could go on any part of
the street, it was proper the latter should 1-R
-emo the track, and allow the cars to pass If
they could obstruct the track four minutes,
they might obstruct it twenty four hours.
The evidence was given to the jury, and
they returned a verdict of not guilty, in both
eases, Prosecutors and defendant each to pay
half the (-lists.
Commonwealth vs. Samuel Mason, .lemima
Mason and Mary Ann Slim ; cross suits of as
sault and battery. The parties reside on Boyd's
Hill, and had indulged in a general fight, the
merits of which were given to the jury. On
trial.
THEY HAVE ARRIVED.—Who' whar why;
the performing monkeys and dog=. They will
appear in their quiet, quaint and musical per
formance this evening, at the Pittsburgh Thea
tre. Those who have witnessed their perform
ance, pronounce it the best "show - they ever
have seen. All those who wish to pass a good
evening's entertainment, and have a good
hearty laugh, had bettor rnpair to the Theatre
early, in order to secure good seats. Our lady
and juvenile friends who cannot attend to
night, will remember that on Saturday after
noon a grand performance will be given for
their especial benefit.
The Milwaukee News, of the 10th inst., is
responsible for the following:
•• All are 'satisfied,' and it is so 'recorded'
that this show is a few degrees ahead of any
thing in the amusement line that has ever been
in our city. They have given four exhibitions
here, all of which have been crowded. Yes
terday 'Young America' was out in its strength,
and such a jubilant set of little folks Were
never seen together in these parts before. We
are informed that the troupe goes from here ta.
Madison, thence to Janesville and Racine.--
Our brethren in these cities will have the kind
ness to note the fact, and also that it has been
endorsed by the largest and most fashionable
audiences ever assembled in Milwaukee. The
performance is entirely unexceptionable."
A NEW MAN IN AN OLD PLACE.—For many
years the drug store at the corner of Fourth
and Smithfield streets has been a well known
and popular stand, under the direction of Mr.
L. Wilcox and J. Abel & Co. The latter has
within a few days disposed of the stock and
fixtures to Mr. Simon Johnston, late in the
employ of B. A. Fahnestock & Co., who will
hereafter conduct the business. The store is
well located, is a neat establishment inside,
having been recently refitted, and has alwats
had plenty of customers. By referring to our
advertising columns it will be seen that Mr.
Johnston has increased the variety of goods
sold here so as to embrace all articles usually
found in a drug store, whether legitimate to
the trade or made so by custom. We know
Mr. Johnston to be an able, and experienced
business man, well calculated to keep thr
cus
tomers of this establishment, and to make new
ones, and are satisfied that he will give satis
faction to the public in his new place of busi
ness.

Da. SCHENCK STILL HERE.—This gentle
man, as has been previously announced, will
be in the city until Friday evening, to examine

able to discover the slightest departure from a
healthy or normal condition. His remedies
are Pulmonic Syrup and Sea weed Tonic, with
which he has cured hundreds of cases that were
given up as hopeless. Dr. Schenck may be
found at any time during the day or evening
at Dr. Keyser's Drug store, 140 Wood street,
where he has an office to examine patient's. *

James Murray, who plead guilty last week, to
stealing a horse from Robert Long, of Upper
St. Clair township, was yesterday sentenced to

ing guilty.

imperfectly, liver and other vexatious diseases are the
certain results. As soon therefore as any afflictions of
this kind are perceived, we may rest assured that the
