Atlantic City v. Larcomb

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Mirturr, J.

The prosecutor, a conductor in the employ of the Atlantic and Suburban Bailway Company, was convicted before the recorder of Atlantic City of violating a city ordinance entitled “An ordinance governing, regulating and fixing fees of mercantile licenses,” &c., approved May 24th, 1910.

Sub-division 27 of section 4 of the charter of Atlantic City (Pamph. L. 1902, p. 284), empowers the council to pass ordinances generally, and section 16 oC the charter prescribes the character and extent of the penalty which may be imposed for a violation thereof.
