Turnip Vendor Discrimination Ends in Court Ruling
Municipal Judge Woodruff yesterday ruled on itinerant trader rights and sale revocation in a case involving William Thompson and Valerie Williams, dismissing most demurrers. Thompson, a truck farmer, sold turnips to Williams and her daughter and faced fines of five dollars shared among the parties. The court upheld the common law price of one dime for fifteen turnips, despite challenges and a tender of the turnips. The piece notes the vendor should relocate to Hearne, a prominent market, for selling turnips at five cents each.
