THE MAYOR AND ALDERMENw. GAVIN YU- LLE, is the title of determined in the Su- preme court of this state at it's Juhe term, ap- peal by the plaintiffs from the coumy court of Mobile county, Judge Ormond presiding. The defendant acted on the part of the bakers o this city the constitutionaty the corporation laws relative to the assze of bread and the icens- ing of bakers.

 The court held that though the constitution gives right impose restraints trade generally. yet tC

 given extent it may be regulated in certain places if the regulation be for the good of the inhabitants that in the of the corporation the regulation just and sautary, and implied power from the se- neral law of the state and that as all laws presup- pose penalties, the corporation is justified in impo- sing them.

 The court held, however, that the penalties must be certain. and cannot be left to the arbitrary ment of the corporation. It contended that al though the utmost limit of the penalty be fixed, be yond which the fine cannot extend. yet this does moi remove the objection, because it permits the corpo ration he judge in it's case.

 The penalty fixed by the bylaws m this case, be ing sum not exceeding fifty dollars, is uncertain- therefore, considered unconstitutional Hence the decision of the county court reversing the decision of the recorder, is affirmed.

 The court inclined to doubt the propriety of tha portion of the bye-law which foreits such bread a. is not of the weight required by the ordinance, al that portion which requires twenty dollars to be paid by the baker license unless the latter can be supplied under the taxing power of the corpora ton.

 This decision, although the bakers have it, is a clear recognition of the right of the city regulate bread, &c., and to impose penalties. It will only be necessary hereafter, to make the fine certain, to rem der it constitutional.

 We incline very much to the opinion that all res trictions trade of any kind the relic ofess en- frightened ages, It IS species of regulation which the public s AS fully competent to perform as an, court in Christendom. The trade of bread making is not likely to be abused than that of mak ne brooches shoes and penalties would be as salutar, in the one case as in the other.

 But the court had nothing to do with this. It's bu siness is decide according to existing awsnot nact new ones ..'..
