Fish

Daniel v. Mayor of Athens

Opinion of the Court

Fish, J.

The use, in the presence of a man, of an obscene word in an ordinary tone, without anger, and under circumstances not calculated to offend the hearer or cause a breach of the peace, does not constitute a violation of a municipal ordinance prohibiting disorderly conduct “calculated to disturb the peace of the citizen.”

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
