The Legislature.

We find it impossible to keep up with the
doings of the Legislature. A good deal of
the time of the members of the House was
spent the last week, in debating the ques-
ton of changing the time of the sitting of the
Legislature, which was finally decided in the
negative. In the Senate, the vote upon the
Judicial Advertisement Bill was laid on the
table by a vote of II to 8. The bill would
be re@considered and the final vote would be
a close one.
Since the foregoing was in type the final
vote has been taken in the senate on the Legal
Advertisement Bill, and last by one vote--the
vote stood, yeas 10, nays l3.

mnortant Principle Establishing.

Am Important Principle Established.
We did not attend Court for nothing last
week. We picked up considerable Informs
ton, which will take us a week or two yet to
lay before our readers.
The second jury case tried was that of The
State rs. Chaperton, for having violated the
State law and ordinances of the Police Jury,
in the defendant not giving a public road in
| front of his lots, situated on Bayou Plaque
mine, at the place where occurred the crevasse
some years go.
1t was proved that in making a new levee,
the parish had not only taken a large portion
Of defendants lot, but had made the Ievee far
Their back than necessary.
E. w. BLAKE, Esq, attorney for defendant,
in his remarks to the jury, among other
grounds, took the position that inasmuch as
the Police Jury had run the levee further back
than there was any necessity for-and had done
so without remunerating defendant for his pros
perty appropriated to public use-that they
could not now force him to deliver a public
DAD under the provisions of the constitution
which protected him in his vested rights, of
which he cannot be Invested, unless for puro
poses of public utility, and for adequate com-
pensation previously made.
The Judge, in his charge TO the jury, sus-
tanned Mr.. BLAKE; the constitution protected
every mans private rights; his property could
not be taken from him for public service before
a just remuneration has been made him. An
immediate verdict by the jury for defendant
was the result.
This decision establishes an important prin~
cipIe, in which the whole community is inter-
ested, and which is likely to cause much litiga.
