Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Decisions Reviewable — Cessation of Controversies. On an appeal from a judgment enjoining the enforcement of omnibus regulations at a depot stand, there is no cessation of the controversy from the fact that the appellants, being unable to supersede their appeal, promulgated new regulations.</p> <p>Injunction — When Lies — Enforcement of Laws. Injunction lies to test validity of police regulations of omnibuses at a depot, since the legal remedies of submitting to an arrest and a civil action for damages are inadequate, and inoperative as to the future.</p> <p>Municipal Corporations — Police Regulations — Hackmen—Depots. It is within the police power of a city to regulate solicitation by, and the stands for, haekmen at a railroad depot.</p> <p>Municipal Corporations — Police Regulations — Hackmen — Depots — Reasonableness. Rules regulating omnibuses at a depot stand are not unreasonable in that certain vehicles are assigned to specified spaces, some of which are of much more value than the others, if they are reasonable so far as the rights of the public are concerned.</p>
