ton. in jefferson parish, but a portion of the
members resided in the City Of Jefferson,
low the Sixth District of the city Of New

in Calrollton and sometimes III the City Ct
jefferson. but the members of the church
did not own any house IN the latter place in
which TO worship, and requested petitioner

slid take unlawful possession Of fhe church
building by forcibly taking of the lock and
fastening or another, thus shutting ont pc

yanced 500. which is still due, and pur-
chased material and employed workmen,

terials and work done. amounting to eighty

built al OF which he has obligated himself
10 pav or see paid. ard that lie is entitled
TO the possession OF the house until the
amount paid by him shall be refunded.

the possession Of the church building, he
viii. IL a great measure, be deprived of the
advice and aid of the congregation in rails
ing money to meet his Indebtedness.
=. Because he is the pastor of said church.
Petitioner asks that said Charles Wash
ington and William Orange. be enjoined
from interfering with him pastor of
Mount Olive Church, and that they be COM
PEELED to deliver the key and the possession
of the premises to Milton Anderson. the

in the treasury for the payment TO E. II.
Angomar and Charles lard for their
services as special levee commissioners, and
directing that the sum should be paid by
the State Treasurer, upon the warrant OF the
Auditor of Public Accounts
RelatOr shows that the claim was trans
ferred hv AngOmar to certain agents, who
indorsed it 10 him. He alleges that the
Auditor gave a certificate OF Indebtedness

so. Wherefore. as relator has no other
remedy by which he may enforce his rights.

to the Auditor, commanding him 10 issue

Case of Habeas Corpus.
Louis Exnicios on Wednesday filed. in the
Sixth District Court, before Judge Cooley,
petition TO the following effect:
He says that lie has special charge Of the
person and education of q child named
Henry Simon, and that a person. whose
German cotfeehouse keeper, residing near
the Barracks, has now in his custody, and
without authority and against petitioners
remOnstrances, the child. writ OF habeas

fore Judge Cooley yesterday.
After hearing the evidence, the Judge sent
the child TO the asylum for destitute boys i'll
this city.

how l,,t ha hoe, liz 1aI md
maltreated-forced to steal wood on the
levee, etc.
After the decision by the court. the party
claiming custody of the boy remained in the
courtroom after the adjournment, and used
most unbecoming language toward his IN
tended victim. threatening him with all
sorts OF untold horrOrs-this in the face OF
the fact that the boy was in charge CT the
law officer of the court
Mr.. James II. Cooley, Deputy Sheriff.

OF the child, who. it seems, had been In
trusted TO the keeping Of ExniciOs for care
and education. by a mother who was TOO
much reduced in circumstances to support
her offspring herself.
The boy had on his person about sixty
dollars in currency, and is bright and de-
monstratlve youth.
