| AcoUrTrRD-The three men, Victor Guiermino,
Francisco Prieto and Antonio Madora, against
| whom the Grand Jury Of st. Bernard parish found
| true bill for the murder OF some Manila fisher
men in Proctorve, in August last, were tried last
| Monday before the Second Judicial District Court,
| Judge Foulhouze, and, we are informed, all three
1 acquitted. In connection with the Proctorvilie
tragedies, we have this to state, that ever since
that time, fish have been both scarce and dear in
| the city markets. The recent gales may have mad
something to do with this, but the murders among
the rival fishermen have had most to do with it.
The smaller and choicer fish are now sold only in
big punches to the hotels and restaurants; poor
people have no chance at them at all. Il
