carrying out the decree Of the
Supreme Court Of the United
States 10 her favor, and ordered
that shebe placed in possession Of
the properties described in the de-
cree. The decree as TO the City Of
New Orleans was modified so as

tiff, and quite q victory for the
city, as it only adjndges the right

and expectations, which is still in
dispute"
