The CoL0RED SCHOOLS AeAIS.-In the Cir.
cut CouA, Chief Justice Cartier, yesterday, IN
the of J. Sayles Brown for Trustees of
colored schools VS.. the Mayor of Washington,
Mr.. Riddell filed the following motion:
The plaintiffs come and make known to the
court that since the determination of thu motion
in this case at the present term, it has been dis
covered that a grave error occurred in the re-
port OF the auditor which was repeated ia the
Judgment of the court. Said report assumed
the whole amount of the fund, of which the
plaintiffs are entitled TO One-ffth, To have
been S79s92.:S when il was in fact 400. SO .tt5.
They ask that said judgment be vacated and
said mistake corrected"
"The auditor has discovered his mistake, and
will make a statement"
The court will act upon this motion at an
early day.
THE anonnt--s7a, $50. 33-was taken by the
auditor to be the whole amount expended and
applicable for school purposes for the year 1850,
and therefore the proportion due 20 colored
schools was decided to be ST., 97s.66. The above
amount was, however, what was set apart for
white schools, and the gross amount, il is
claimed by the Trustees Of the cslored schools
should have been S99, 5000, which would make
the propori ion for colored schools Sl9,9s3 80
s3,s94.67 more than the former award.-Repor-
