George Filfie          }
      vs               }       Judgment
The City of Gainesville}
                   This cause came up on appeal from a Judgement of the Mayors
Court the Court having considered the same, finds that there was error in the
Judgement entered by the Mayor there being no affidavit nor warrant against
the defendant charging him with any offense. The evidence shows that the
appellant was selling his own goods and was not required to take out a license
as auctioneer. The Judgement is in an amount not authorized or warranted
by law and is illegal in that it imposes imprisonment for ---         days
It is therefore ordered considered and adjudged that said Judgement of the
Mayors Court be set aside and reversed, and that Appellee pay to the Appelant
any and all moneys paid by him on account of said Judgement
And it is further ordered that Appellee pay all costs accrued in this cause
including the costs of this appeal   Decr 23rd 1897
