Good for San Francisco.

THE following item is from the Chronicle of Feb. 13. It is one of the best omens we have seen; but we fear that the Grand Jury will never act in the matter:— "The jury in the case of J. Ginegg vs. Martha Spellman, a suit to recover $500 back rent for a house of prostitution on Quincy Street, and $1,500 damages for detention, rendered a verdict in Judge Rearden's Court on Wednesday afternoon granting a restitution of the premises to the plaintiff, but refusing to allow him any damages, on the ground that the house had been leased for immoral purposes. The jury also asked the Court to bring before the Grand Jury the fact that a crime had been committed by the plaintiff in leasing his premises for immoral purposes, and to ascertain whether the jury could not take action in the matter, as similar offenses were being perpetrated daily."
