In the Monroe Inteigencer Of the sd inst, notice
an important decision, rendered by the Hon. Robert
Ray the Probate Judge Of 0uaehita parish IN regard
to the jurisdiction of the Parish Courts where the
amount is over $500. It arises under this provision
Of the constitution CAL SUGGESTIONS shallbe opened
and settled in tie Parish Courts and all suits in which
succession is either plaintiff defendant may be
brought either in the Parish District Court accord
ing to the amount involved The clerk OF the District
Court had refused to place several claims against
succession for over FIVE hundred dollars the docket
of the Parish Court, and the decision was rendered
upon rule against him. The proper rendering OF
the above article Of the constitutions said the court
and the one intended be given it by the convention
that framed it, believe to be this:
That in all suits in whcha succession is either plain
tiff or defendant and when the amount involved Is 'deT
five hundred dollars exclusive of interest, must be
brought in the Parish Court, but it the amount III
yolve is oge five hundred dollars it may be brought
in either the Parish or District Court at the option Of
plaintiff.
ANY other construction of this article would deprive
the parties Of the advantage of either the Parish or
District Courts, according to the amount involved.
While the law gives the two courts concurrent JuTS-
dicrion in which succession is either plaintiff Or de-
PENDANT when the amount involved is oTc- five hun
dred dollars it leaves with the plaintiff the privilege
of combining his suit the court which holds its SEES
sons more rcGucntand thereby assures more speedy
settlement of SUGGESTIONS. Interest 7ePubcG6 ut SIT

This construction Of the law does not in the opinion
Of this conflict with the provisions Of article IS
of the constitution, which recitcs: The District
Court shall have original Jurisdiction III all civil cases
where the amount in dispute exceeds five hundred
dollars exclusive of interest,"" for the reason that the
subsequent article 81 gives 10 the Parish Court the
power open and settle Ill succesions and the very
next article IS says: " La al probate matters when
the amount in dispute Shall exceed five hundred dol
lars exclusive Of interest," the appeal SHALL be directly

ticle? 1t strikes this that suits i'll which n sue
ccsson is either plaintiff defendant the prooat"

homologation Of final account, when the amount in
| dispute exceeds five hundred dollars.
The only case, therefore, in Which Tie constitution
has taken from the Parish Counts tie full and entire
control and settlement Of succession and Jurisdiction

concurrent jurisdiction (wIere the amount Involved
exceeds five hundred dolIarS) in where success
