MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, §§ 422, 446 — jurisdiction of municipal court, and sufficiency of evidence, in prosecution for smoke and gas arising outside city. Municipal court of Chicago had jurisdiction of prosecution against brick company for violation of ordinance in permitting its kilns to emit smoke and noxious gases even though kilns were located just outside city limits, where company's office was situated within such limits, in view of provisions of Cities and Villages Act granting municipal corporate authorities jurisdiction over places within one half mile of corporate limits for purpose of enforcing health and quarantine ordinances and regulations, and empowering such authorities to prohibit offensive or unwholesome business or establishment within one mile beyond municipal limits, and evidence was sufficient to sustain conviction (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1945, ch. 24, pars. 8-1, 23-89; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 21.1242, 21.1719).
