Reason Wh.v the Court Throws th1e
Con1Ctempt Provedifg, Out.
Whilo Judge Simonton filed one dI
*-i1ion ga1ai.i the State in aliqluorcase
o note Monday. he also filed one in
favor of the state. Ie has dismissed
the Dunbar- Rankin contempt case
brouglt by Dr, Pope. The case was
heard some weeks ago in the United
zitates court. Dunbar had some liquo,
seized by Constable Bankin and he
brought suit against him for 8628.92
damages. Commissioner Mixson being
made a party to the suit,
The doision reads as follows, being

.Thy ck to sustain the jurisdiction
(f the court upon the grouna that the
ztion i - brought under actof congress
cf auiv 2, 1801. "to protect trade and
--ummerce agaiost unlawful restraint
I'ld monopolies.'- his act gives this
court jurisdiction without regard to the
amount in controversy over matters
forbidden by the act.
.eetion 7 of this act gives a right of
etiniU to any person who shall be in
jurLe in his' business or property by
any other person or corporation by
~1r~t.y ":'%niWfU b7Vt2ie Mt. - --
in the tirst, second and third see
iion-, the at declares what is forbid
uen in it. Every contract, coibina
,iU n the. form of a trust or other
wise, ort conspiracy in restraint of
trade or:commerce among the several
States, or with foreigu nations, is de
4laret illegal. Every person who shall
mniopnolze or attempt to monopolize
or com~infe or conspire with any other
person or persons to monopolize any
nar of t-he trade or commerce in any
ierritory. or th e district of Columbia,
or in restrairit of trade -oetween such
territory and another, or the District
of Columbia or foreign nations, is de
ectred to be an illegal act.
.From the terms of this act it will be
seen that it forbids anyv individual
eithecr by himself to monopolize or
comine,i(' contract or consp)ire with
ny other person to monop)olize any
part of- the interstate or foreign conm
m ieree. This is the essential feature of
thcnt. The action being onthecstatute
the cause of action muilst set out some
thing forbidden in the statute.
Tecause of iietion set forth in this
com]plainlt is the seizure byn Rankin, in
transit. of a harrel of b,eer shipped to
the panfffr his personal use by a
omcrehiant from Richund to Newberry',
without any pretense of ownership or
claim of interest in or lien upon the
said barrel of beer. hut solely by
virtue of sonme pretended authority toI
contiseate spiritutous, malt or vinous
liquors e6nsigned to rrivate persons inl
South-Carolina.
That Rankin after the seizure had
Ih barrel sent to the defenCant. Mix
ua and that Mixon received and pjre
sunutbir coLntius to hold the same.
knowing~ it to he property of p)laintitl,
bought by him in the State of \ir
inia, and sent to him by a publie
carrier N%othing whatever is said
about any mniopoDVly by defendant of
any~ trade, interstate or foreign. The
only' charge is that he claims a pre
tendl(ed authority to confiscate liquors
consigned to pirivate parties in Sou1th
C.arolina, It is not alleged that Rankin
iin any trade or business whatsoever.
NotLhing whiaever is said of any eon
niraer or contract or combination be
twveen Ratukin and his codefendant
Mixsou or any ether person or persons
whomnseever to) moniopolize any foreign
or. domuestic trade. The complaint is
silent even as to anyV preconisent b)e
f:een themr leading to the seizure of
-uis ba.rrel.
an ms iatral inference from the
in'guage used in the. complaint is that
Mi'n. after the seiure, received and

run from 9 to 3 o'lock. Col. Capers
afterwards resigned the olice and was
