Ex Parte Vaughan
Decision Date | 20 December 1922 |
Docket Number | (No. 6719.) |
Parties | Ex parte VAUGHAN. |
Court | Texas Court of Criminal Appeals |
W. Gregory Hatcher, of Dallas, for appellant.
Jas. J. Collins and Carl B. Callaway, both of Dallas, and R. G. Storey, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
By way of original application for writ of habeas corpus, relator calls in question the validity of his conviction for violation of an ordinance of the city of Dallas.
The complaint charges, in appropriate language, that he was the proprietor of a meat market and worked therein for more than five days "without a certificate from some reputable physician of the city of Dallas attesting that the bearer had been examined at any time within the last six months before the filing of this complaint and had been found free from infectious and contagious diseases."
Many grounds are specified in the application. None will be adverted to except such as are necessary in deciding whether there be a valid ordinance of the city of Dallas upon which the complaint may be lawfully based. Section 2 and subdivision (b) thereof reads thus:
That the enactment of suitable legislation to protect the public health against the use of impure food is within the general scope of the police power is not an open question. Ex parte Drane, 80 Tex.
