WarmOth ct al.-In this case relators aver
that he is the owner OF three certain certi-
ficates OF Indebtedness, issued by the State
of Louisiana on the twenty-fifth of August,
1869, for work done under contract with the
commissioners appointed by law, under act
tfty-nine Of the Legislature OF 1865; that
eighty-fve similar certificates were issued
at the same time in Acknowledgement of
work done under said act, of which seven
ty-tive have been ordered to be paid out of
the floating debt fund created by an act of
the Legislature of 1870, under judgments
rendered in various suits instituted in this
court. The certificates now sued on are
the property of the REALTORS, but one Of
them is not now in his possession, having
been stolen, and, though duly advertised,
has not yet been recovered. The other two
are alleged to be in possession OF q person
row absent from the State, who claims to
hold them under a pledge. traudulently
made by one to whom they were remporar-
lily loaned.
Claimant responds that he proposes insti-
tuting the proper legal measures to recover
possession Of these certificates, and to OBJ
tain their recognition and payment by the
liquidators Of the floating debt; but that in
the meantime he apprehends that improper
persons may get possession of them, and APP
ply to the iquidators Of the floating debt
for their payment. To protect him in his
rights, he prays for an injunction, which
was issued by order of Judge Emmerson.
