Alexander v. Louisiana
Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Louisiana
No. 70-5026 Argued: December 6-7, 1971 --- Decided: April 3, 1972
Petitioner, a Negro, attacks his rape conviction in Lafayette Parish, which was affirmed by the Louisiana Supreme Court, contending that the grand jury selection procedures followed in his case were invidiously discriminatory against Negroes and, because of a statutory exemption provision, against women. The jury commissioners (all white) sent out questionnaires (including a space for racial designation) to those on a list compiled from nonracial sources. Of the 7,000-odd returns, 1,015 (14%) were from Negroes, though Negroes constituted 21% of the parish population presumptively eligible for grand jury service. By means of two culling-out procedures, when racial identifications that the commissioners had attached to the forms were plainly visible, the pool was reduced to 400, of whom 27 (7%) were Negro, from which group the 20-man grand jury venires were drawn. Petitioner's venire included one Negro (5%), and the grand jury that indicted him had none. There was no evidence of conscious racial selection and one commissioner testified that race was no consideration.
Held:
    1. Petitioner made out a prima facie case of invidious racial discrimination in the selection of the grand jury that indicted him—not only on a statistical basis but by a showing that the selection procedures were not racially neutral—and the State, which did not adequately explain the disproportionately low number of Negroes throughout the selection process, did not meet the burden of rebutting the presumption of unconstitutionality in the procedures used. Cf. Avery v. Georgia, 345 U.S. 559; Whitus v. Georgia, 385 U.S. 545. Pp. 628-632.
    2. Petitioner's contentions regarding discrimination against women in the selection of grand jurors are not reached. Pp. 633-634.
255 La. 941, 233 So. 2d 891, reversed.
WHITE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C. J., and BRENNAN, STEWART, MARSHALL, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined, and in Part I of which DOUGLAS, J., joined. DOUGLAS, J., filed a concurring opinion, post, p. 634. POWELL and REHNQUIST, JJ., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
Charles Stephen Ralston argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the brief were Jack Greenberg, James M. Nabrit III, Margrett Ford, and Charles Finley.

Alexander v. Roulet
ERROR to the Circuit Court for the District of California.
Alexander brought ejectment against Roulet and others in the court below to recover a piece of land in San Francisco, California. The title was thus: The conquest of California was complete, as decided by this court, July 7th, 1846. On the 12th of January, 1850, Horace Hawes, at that time, by virtue of an appointment from the then military governor of the then Territory of California, and an election by the people of the district, acting as the prefect of the district embracing the then pueblo, now city of San Francisco, granted to Edward Carpenter the premises in controversy. The title of Carpenter, thus acquired, became vested in the plaintiff. The premises were within the limits of the said pueblo, now city of San Francisco.
The court gave judgment for the defendant, holding, among other things, that although each prefect of California, while the same was part of the Mexican territory, had power to make grants of the common and unappropriated lands of the pueblos within their jurisdiction, yet that from and after the conquest and acquisition of the country by the United States they ceased to have such power, and, consequently, that the grant of Prefect Hawes was void.
On error here, among the questions raised were these:
1. Whether, while California was still part of the Mexican territory, prefects there had power to make grants of the common or unappropriated lands of pueblos within their jurisdiction.
2. Assuming that they had the power while the region was under Mexican rule, whether prefects elected by the people as well as appointed by military governors of the United States, after the cession and conquest, had the same power.
Messrs. W. Irvine and S. Heydenfelt, for the plaintiff in error; Mr. Hall McAllister, contra.
Mr. Justice DAVIS delivered the opinion of the court.

ALEXANDER v. UNITED STATES
Error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Arkansas
No. 1309. Argued: Jan. 16, 1891 --- Decided: Feb. 2, 1891
It is the duty of counsel, in a criminal case, to seasonably call the attention of the court to any error in impanelling the jury, in admitting testimony, or in any other proceeding during the trial by which the rights of the accused may be prejudiced, and, in case of an adverse ruling, to note an exception; and if counsel fails in this respect, error cannot be assigned for such causes.
It being shown in a trial on an indictment for murder, that on the day of the disappearance of S. (the murdered man), and of Mrs. H., her husband and his relatives were seen, armed with guns and pistols, hunting for S and Mrs. H., who were supposed to have eloped together, the declarations at that time of H. as to his purpose in doing so were part of the res gestæ: but this court does not decide whether it was error to rule them out.
Statements regarding the commission of a crime already committed, made by the party committing it to an attorney at law when consulting him in that capacity, are privileged communications, whether a fee has or has not been paid, and whether litigation is pending or not.
The rule announced in Queen v. Cox, 14 Q.B.D. 153, should be limited to cases wheie the party is tried for the crime in furtherance of which the communication is made.
The case is stated in the opinion.

# Adam's Reports on Vernacular Education in Bengal and Behar/Report 1/Section 11

SECTION XI.
The District of Tipera.
Population.—In 1801, the population of this district was estimated at 750,000 persons in the proportion of four Hindoos to three Mahomedans. This district is the chief eastern boundary of Bengal, and its eastern limits are not yet accurately defined. The Tripura nation or tribe continue to maintain a kind of independent principality among the eastern hills about thirty miles wide. In features and manners they resemble the more eastern nations, but their princes have adopted Hindoo names and usages. The three tribes into which the Tripuras are divided are said to speak the same language though varying in character. Still further towards the east between the territory of the Tripura race and the central inaccessible mountains, there is a wide hilly region occupied by the people called Kookies, the Lingach of the Burmese and Lingta of the Bengalees, who appear to be a martial and predatory people.
Indigenous Schools.—I have no information regarding either common schools or schools of learning in this district. Hamilton states, perhaps too positively, that there are not any regular schools or seminaries where the Hindoo and Mahomedan laws and religion are taught. In reply to enquiries made by the general ​Committee the local agents of Government stated in 1823 that they could not discover that any endowments or funds of a public nature exist in the district, or that any grants have ever been made applicable to the purpose of public instruction.
Elementary School not Indigenous.—In 1820, a school was commenced by the Serampore missionaries at Comilah, the capital of the district, encouraged by the pecuniary support of private individuals, but the attendance of the scholars was so limited and irregular that it was discontinued. The scholars were the children of laborers who needed their assistance in the fields. The local agents strongly recommend that in future attempts to spread education in the district, the Native zemindars, several of whom reside in Calcutta, should be solicited to give their co-operation, which would greatly contribute to the removal of prejudice and to the final success of the design.
# Adam's Reports on Vernacular Education in Bengal and Behar/Report 1/Section 12

SECTION XII.
The District of Mymunsing.
Population.—This district is intersected through its whole extent by the Brahmaputra and the innumerable streams flowing into it; and the surface of the country being low and flat it is during the height of the floods nearly submerged. In 1801, the total population was estimated at 1,300,000 persons, and the majority of the inhabitants are stated to be Mahomedans in the proportion of five to two Hindoos.
Schools.—Hamilton states that there are not any regular seminaries in this district for teaching the Mahomedan law, but that there are two or three schools in each pergunnah for instruction in Hindoo learning. The district is divided into nineteen pergunnahs and six tuppas, in all twenty-five local sub-divisions, which will give from 50 to 60 schools of Hindoo learning in the district. The scholars are taught gratuitously, it being deemed disgraceful to receive money for instruction.
Indigenous schools for learning imply the existence of indigenous elementary schools, but I find no mention of them in any authority to which I have referred.
The alleged non-existence of Mahomedan schools in a district in which the proportion of Mahomedans to Hindoos is as five to two is incredible.
I have not been able to discover that any institution of education that owes its origin to European philanthropy exists in this district.
