Refusing to work the public roads was t he charge in cases against Eph raim Blackwell et al and Henry Hill. E. G. McAdams represented both cases and both were considered together. They were appeal cases from Magis trate J. H. Rajnoy's Court. Tho con stitutionality of tho road law was in volved in these cases, and His Honor, Judge Gage, wan forced to pass upon them. Ile overruled the decidion of Magistrate Karney, thus pronouncing the road law unconstitutional, and or dered the prosecutions withdrawn. Our drainage laws were also pronoun ced unconstitutional by Judgo Gage in considering cases brought against W. Q. Hammond. The prosecutions were ordered withdrawn. Tho case against Mr. Hammond for maintaining a dam after legal notice to remove it was dis missed because t he Act upon which tho charge was founded had been repealed.
