Syllabus

<p>Municipal Cokpokation. Restraint of trade. Sale of second-hand clothing.</p> <p>In the absence of an epidemic or other circumstances apparently rendering the ordinance necessary for the preservation of the public health, an ordinance of a town is void which declares it unlawful to bring therein ' or offer for sale second-hand clothing, without first having produced satisfactory proof to the mayor that such clothing did not come from a locality where contagion or infection was prevailing or had prevailed. Such an ordinance is an unjust and unreasonable restraint of trade.</p>
