IMPORTANT DEcIsroN.-An important de.
cision was rendered by Judge Whitson, on
yesterday, and it is one Of great interest, not
only to the legal profession in our Territory,
but also to litigants. 1t was in the case OF
Trumbo vs.. Brogan, ct al, which was CON-
msnced In the District Court of the Second
Judicial District, in this county, wherein
plaintiff sued for wages, the amount claimed
being less than FIVE hundred dollars. Col.
Merritt, attorney for the defendants, demurred
on the ground that the District Court had no
Jurisdiction in actions where the amount in con-
troversy did not exceed $500, exclusive of in
terest. The matter was argued on last Mon
day. by Judge ]. X. Shafer, on part of Plf.,
and Col. Merritt for the Defts. The point re-
lied on in support of the demurrer was that the
act of Congress, approved Dec. IL, 1870, con-
ferred upon the Probate Courts the right to
hear and determine "all civil causes wherein
the damages or debt claimed does not exceed
the sum of FIVE hundred dollars, exclusive of
Interest,"" and that exclusive jurisdiction in
such cases was thereby conferred on the Pro-
bate Courts Also that section 2, of the act
referred to. repealed all acts inconsistent there
with, thereby repeating or amending so much
of the Organic act as conferred such jurisdic
ton on the District Courts alone; and that
the provision in Sec. 2, of the act of Dee. l3,
1870, "That this act shall not affect any suit
pending in the District Courts of said Territory
at the time of it's passage" was conclusive of
the fact that the District Court should, after
the passage of SAID act. have no jurisdiction
of such cases except in those then pending, and
afterwards on appeal from the Probate Courts.
Judge Whitson sustained the demurrer and
the case was dismissed. We believe that the
members of the bar, who were in attendance,
concur in the correctness of the opinion, and
from our understanding, and from the language
used BY Judge Whitson in rendering his decis-
ion, it in no wise affectes the jurisdiction of
Justices of the Peace.

man who believes i'll his mission and
who does not consider himself interior to
