The Text of the Decision showingt the 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 ,igued by both Judges Simonton and Urawl,ev: .nc demurrer to the complaint sets for-th the following grounds: First. That as it appears on the face if the complaint, this court has no 'urisdictiou of th. muatters and things OrMlng the subject of this action. "econd, That as it apperrs upon the see c thereof, the complaint does not ite facts sulicient to constitute a se of action. Acording lo the code of South CI.olin thCs- two objectious may be 1en 11 way of oral demurrer at the i t the cause. Code, section 169. udeed. the first objection must be en by the court itself suo motn if it -opears on an inspection of the A number of citations are made by .Ndge Simopton of eases similar to this contempt Case. la this cvmplaint the entire amount ciaimeJ d '3:images by plaintiff isSti28, be iarned counsel for plaiuntiffsays J1ndge Simonton recognized this. .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 le hlds the ber Th e ssential re -ites of a erm0se ofi actiouP under the a -ced not aippear in the complaint. ''cauwt h sustained under the stat .:s so- i nt w'ithir the' iurisdiction hh e t So ists the statements othe compnlaint go. they disclose an aviaio of a comon law right, which wu!i eal for a remedy at common .mBecause of the amount involved. a ~tated in the complaint, this conrt uid not take jurisdiction of this io ct o.a common law right. In or * onable the plaintitto .sne under :iiute there must be a radical in the allegations of his comn :.and an en'tirely new acd distinct ause of action must be set forth.
