1Opinion of the CourtLand, J.
The defendant was tried in the recorder’s court of the city of New Orleans on an affidavit charging the violation of Ordinance No. 6186, relative to operating a “to hire” automobile on St. Charles street in said city. He was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $25, or, in default of payment, to serve 30 days in the parish prison. Prior to conviction, defendant filed a demurrer to the affidavit, for the reason that said ordinance is “unnecessary, arbitrary, discriminating, unreasonable, confiscatory, illegal, null, unconstitutional, void and ultra vires.”
