[MAJORITY — PER CURIAM.]
PER CURIAM.
These are writs of error to the municipal court, and involve an interpretation of the Act of June 4,1924 (43 Stat. 367). Since the facts in these cases do not differ materially from the facts in District of Columbia v. Newman (No. 4803) 59 App. D. C. 163, 37 F.(2d) 444, decided February 25, 1929, in which an application for rehearing has this day been denied, the judgments in these eases are affirmed, with costs, on the authority of that case.
Affirmed, with costs.
