but that on the ornIng after they must appear
before him and either enter into bonds to leave
the city within twentyfour hours, or go 10 the

Fourth DISTRICT CoURT-An Immense Sat-
Miguel Genaro de Lzardi, residing in the City OF
Mexico, has instituted suit in damages against
! the New Orleans Canal and Banking Company
| and Efingham Laurence, of this city, for the sum
of eight hundred and seventy-fve thousand five
hundred and odd dollars for the following alleged
causes:
That the petitioner is owner of the Santa
| Anna sugar plantation in the parish of Plaque
/ mines and whilst he was IN peaceable possession
thereof with all its appurtenancest the said Canal
and Banking Company instituted suit against
Manuel Julian de Lizard, on the 18th July, 1861,
aud. by virtue of writ of attachment, illegally
seized said plantation, together with large
quantity of sugar and molasses and other prop
erty thereon and persisted in maintaining the lille
gal seizure and possession Notwithstanding peti'
toners remonstrsnces,) from that date up to
June, 1868. when the plantation and such portions
| of the other property as had not been sold, los
or destroyed, were returned to petitioner.
That the suit against Manuel j. de LIZARD wa
finally decided against the Canal Bank by the Su
preme Court and that the damages sustained b.
petitioner amount to the sum above mentioned.
That the value of the crops, and the damage
accTuiDR TO the plantation during the interim fron
1861 to 1868 can fully be estimated at the amour
claimed.
Mr. Laurence is made a party to the suit 70
having been surety on the attachment bond in th
original suit against NJ j. de Lizard.
AttorDes for the plalnun: y. hosellus ant
Alfred Phillips.
The crops on the Santa Anna plantation for tn
eight years of alleged illegal seizure are set dow
at an average of 6l3 hogsheads OF sugar and lVS
barrels of molasses, and it is worthy OF record {
state that, whilst the crop of 1867 Is est
mated only at SAL 600, that of lS64-5, for the sam
quantity, is estimated at $l63 600, and that 0
1868 at $ll2,000-all in round numbers. Tn
first valuation was probably in gold, and thst 2
the two last in greenbacks. The interest alone
the value of the crops at five per cent. reache
within fraction of the large sum Of Sll6,OOC
The plaintiff also claims damages for the vast
and neglect of uncultiyated land, upon which
growth Cf willows has been allowed, which
will REQUIRE some considerable expense to clea
away.
