The case of Barnes VS.. Thompson, in
volving the liquidation of the affairs of the
partnership of the former commercial firm
of Barnes a. Thompson, was fixed for this
morning, to be tried by special jury of

In the case of Harrison Bietry VS.. Orleans
Railroad Company, the jury rendered a

Fifth District Court.
The judicial bench of the Fifth District
Court presented quite a novel appearance
this morning. 1t was scene pleasing to
look upon because of its very novelty
Judge LeaumOnt, it appeared, had secured
the services OF several associate Judges.
Both to his right and left were seated his
hopeful offspring, boys ranging in age from
five to ten years. They locked gravely
upon the scene below them, much to the
amusement of the lawyers, litigants and
spectators generally. ..a-.r.t
sixth District Court.
In this court there have been fled two
suits against commercial firm of this city,
which involve the question as to whether
fduciary debt can be discharged under the
bankruptcy act. The defendants were COM
mission merchants, and received from plain
tiffs large quantities of produce on consign-
ment. to be sold. OF I'd +.tt
Before a settlement was had defendants
failed, and subsequently were adjudged
bankrupts and discharged of their debts.
Plaintiffs now claim that discharge in
bankruptcy can not affect tiduciary claim,
and hence the suits.
The case of the Carondelet Canal and
Navigation Company against the city, re-
ported on Wednesday, has been resumed.
Eighth District Court.
An almost unequaled dullness prevailed
in Judge Dibble's court this morning. The
session of the court lasted five minutes,
more or less, there being no business of any
kind before the court, and the judge was
thus enabled to get off quite early to attend
to the more pleasant duty of visiting the
public schools, in which the annual closing
exercises are now taking place.
