DIED-At her residence on Bayou
Dceuf, on the morning Of the Goth ult.,
Mrs. ELMIRA BROWN, wife Of the;
late VIM. Il. Brown and daughter of
the late Joel Toler, IN the forty fifth
year of her age.
She had been resident of Rapidcs
for more than twenty-five years and
was well known and beloved by a
large circle of friends. She had adj
n,irably fulfilled all the duties circum-
bent on her as wife, mother and neigh
Dor. Her house was ever open to the
stranger; from her hospitable gate no
one, whether rich or poor, was ever
turned away. Many a poor JConfeder-
ate soldier, who le,s found shelter un-
der her roof in sickness and distress,
when SO many Others were deaf to the
calls OF humanity and patriotism, will
hear with regret the news of hcl
death.

Plaintiffs seek to remove the exccutrix
of the Succession of Josiah HUE claiming |
to be Judgment creditors of her individual |
ly, on the ground that she removed to Tex
as with the intention to reside there per-
manently, and for general unfaithfulness in
the administration of her duties as Execu-
trix.
They further say, that in consequence
thereof they greatly fear that the remaining
property will not be enough to pay the
debts due by the estate, aud leave sufficient
community property belonging to their
debtor, Mrs. HUE, to pay their judgment
against her.
The Court. in this case, say Mrs.
HUE does not occupy fduciary capacity
toward the plaintiffs, who only claim to be
her individual creditors, and she cannot be

The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1869-09-08

Grant that the contract between the
maker and payce of tho note in suit was
without consideration, or grant that its
consideration was immoral and unjust;
grant that this consideration and this con-
tract have been swept away; still that
other agreement by the bill drawn npor.
them by the plaintiff, remains untouched
Its consideration, the half OF drug store,
was lawful, and it ought to be enforced.
If this theory of the case be deemed fam
ciful, it may be laid aside without injury
to the plaintiffs rights. All will agree,
that as d bona tidc holder for value and
before maturity of q promissory note, no
must recover, unless the note has by law
been declared to be void even in such
hands as his. 1t is not claimed that there
is such statue Dirt. 1913 declares con-
tracts for the sale of persons to be null and
void. Tho note in suit is not contract
for the sale OF persons, OF for the sale OF
persons, OF for the sale Of anything. 1t is
only avoided by Implication, as an evil
dence of u debt incurred by purchase OF
persons. But this implication ought not
to implicate any party but the payce, who
was party to the sale.
But if the intent and effect of the Article
U2s) is to avoid the note in suit in the
hands OF plaintiff. the Article itself is null
and void, being in conflict with the Con
stitution of the United States, winch de-
c1ares that no State shall pass o law inn
pairing the obligation Of contracts.
For these reasons am of opinion thai
the plaintiff should have judgment.
