COUNSEL FOR THE PEOPLE We have offered in evidence section 

 186 of the Sanitary Code. I deem it material to prove what that 

 Sanitary Code was, and that this is a branch of it, because section 82 

 of the law of 1873 makes it a -misdemeanor to violate the Sanitary 

 Code. We have proved a detached section. 



The COURT You want to prove that there was such an ordinance 

 passed ? 



Mr. PRENTICE Yes, sir ; we propose to show not only the addi- 

 tional ordinance, but the code to which this refers. 



The COURT That is the original code in that book ?
