Mr.. Noble, of Orleans, member of the
Committee on Claims, submitted the follow
ing minority report, which was received:
House of Representatives Of the State of Loui
siana.
| The undersigned, member of the Com
mittee on Claims disagrees with the report
of the majority of the committee for the
following reasons: 'e
Because the report of the majority of the
committee states that the decision rendered
| by w. w. Handliu, appointed Judge of the
Third District Court of New Orleans by
| George F. Shepley, military governor, on
| the third of November, 1868, in the case of
John Osman and wife VS.. Charles Roman"
was rendered on the thirteenth of July,
where the facts are that the decision occur
red on the seventh of July. This distinc-
ton of dates is important, because the
reasons for the decision of the merits of the
case were rendered on the seventh of July;
| but on the thirteenth, when the new trial
| refused
customary in such cases.
| The undersigned, on behalf Of the
committee, maintains that the order of
removal of w. w. Handlin by Michael
Hahn, then Governor of the State being
based upon the fact that no reasons were
given from the bench in the decision rem
dered by Judge Handlin, was erroneous, and
that the said removal was not in accordance
with the principles of Justice which should
actuate the Executive of the State.
Since it is a well understood custom that
judges are paid by the year, and are to con-
tinue in office until their successors are ap.
pointed, the undersigned recommends that
the salary of W. W. Handlin, as Judge of
the Third District Court, be paid him, and
that the resolution offered by r. H. Isabelle
of Orleans, be adopted.
