Second District Court.
Succession of Marie Louise Jean Louis
In this case petitioner. Marie Guidry, repre-
sents that she has lately been appointed
dative testamentary executrix of the late
Marie Louise Jean Louis. and took the oath
prescribed by law in said capacity; that it
now devolves upon her to apply for an or
der directing inventories to be made OF all
the property belonging to the succession of
said deceased. situated in this parish and in
the parish of St. Martin.
Petitioner further represents that the two
other universal legatees who are heirs to
said succession. jointly with her, tO-wit: her
sister. Olympic Guidry, and her brother,
Joseph Guidry. are minors unprovided with
a tutor, but now under the care of Pierre
Gudry, their father, who, although by law
their natural tutor, has not yet been con-
firmed and qualified as such; and that for
the purpose of representing the said minors
at said inventories, the said Pierre Guidry.
or some other suitable person, should be ap-
pointed curator ad hoe of said minors.
Petitioner further represents that, mas
much as the said succession is of small value,
and unable to bear heavy costs and charges,
and as she expects to obtain from the notary
who shall make the inventory in the parish
of Orleans the appointment of appraisers
uho shall make no charge for their services,
she and her co-heirs would be'pecuniarily
benefited if the court, complying with the
provisions of article llC6 of the Civil Code
new, would abstain from appointing APP
praisers. and leave the matter to the notary
designated.
Wherefore she prays that inventories be
ordered to be made, in the parish Of Orleans,
by Edward Barnett, notary public, and IN
the parish of st. Martin by the Parish Re-
corder thereof, of all the property belonging
to the said succession, and that Pierre
Glidry be appointed curator od hoe to rep
resent the minors above named ut said in
VeutOrleS.
Thcreupon Judge Duvigneaud made the
following order:
Let the inventories prayed for in the an
nexed petition be taken i'll the parish of ST.
Martin by the Recorder of said parish. or
by any notary public III said parish. and in
the parish of Orleans by Edward Barnett,
notary public: and let L. f. Charbonnet
and j. l.. Lewis he appointed and sworn as
appraisers to value the property to be in
ventoried in the parish of Orleans.
New Orleans, September "a, 1870.
Afterward this order was entered up.
Let the above order be set aside and an
nuIled. and let the inventories prayed for
in the anne xed petition be taken in the par
ish Of St. Martin by the Recorder of the
parish or by any notary public in said par
ish. and in the parish OF Orleans by 4. d.
Doriocourt. notary public, and let l.. Z.
Charbonnet and j. l.. Lewis be appointed

New Orleans September -, 1870.
L. DUVIGNEAUD, Judge.
Following this is petition in these words:
The petition of Marie Guidry. dative tes
tamentarv eXeeu;rix OF the said deceased,
with respect represents: That il the order
herein granted on the twenty-fourth Sep
TENDER. instant. on her petition praying for
an inventory of the succession OF said de-
ceased, this court has appointed two ap-
praisers, to wit: l.. +. Chalbonnet and j. l..
Lewis, to value the property to be invento-
ried, in the parish of Orleans, under said
order; which said appointment belongs and
is left by law exclusively to the notary ap-
pointed to make said inventory.
Petitioner further represents that the said
appointment being Illegal and null, would,
if carried out. vitiate the said inventory,
and ought therefore to be revoked.
Petitioner further represents that in her
said petition she had prayed for the appoint
ment of a curator I'D hoe to represent at the
inventories of said succession the minors,
Olympic Guidry and Joseph Guidry, who
have no tutors; and that this court has
omitted to pass upon this part of her petition.
Wherefore petitioner prays that the order
herein granted on her petition on the twen-
ty-fourth of September instant, be amended
in so far as to revoke the appointment therein
made of L. Z. Charbonnet and j. l.. Lewis,
as appraisers, as aforesaid, and to appoint a
curator adj hoe to said minors Guidry.
The petition was Endorsed thus:
refuse to grant this order because the
Judge OF this court alone has the right to ap-
point appraisers in succession matters, and
further, because no curator Gd hoe can be
appointed to assist minors when their nat
ural tutor is living and in the State.
New Orleans, September %, 1870.
L. DUVIGNEAUD, Judge.
None of the courts were in session yester-
day; no suits of any public interest were
filed, and general dullness pervaded the
precincts Of the dingy old courthouse. All
the judges of the different District Courts
are in the city, but many of the lawyers are
away, "summering high in bliss" in some
far Northern watering place, or over the
lake, along the seashore, enjoying the
luxuries of cool breezes, fish and oysters.
Mr.. E. Bermudez, counsellor at law, has re-
turned from summer trip to Paris, looking
refreshed and rejuvenated by his trip, while
many of the old and sturdy members of
the legal profession still linger at the water
ing places, rscuperating their energies for
the coming campaign, commencing in No
vember.
Judge Dibble, of the Eighth District
Court, has number of important cases I'M
der consideration, in which it is expected
he will deliver opinions next week
