Touching the right to recall a witness
after dismissal, Mr.. Justice Howe, Of the
Supreme Court, in examining the bill Of
| exceptions which came up with the ease on
appeal from the Judicial District Court of
| Rapides, went on to say:
| The statement by the Judge of the Dis
trict Court in the bill Of exceptions that
the witness has already been cross-exam-
| ined by the attorney for the prisoner until
| the patience Of the court was exhausted
| and that the court said to the witness,
Have you told all you know about this
case :" and the witness said, YES can
hardly. suffice to take tie cause out of the
operation OF the just rule. Found in 8 Rob.
563) The time of court can never be
better employed than in hearing testimony
for the defense in a criminal case ; and the |
statement OF a,witness that she knew moth |
ing about the case could certainly be of no |
weight. Many 1acts which she may have |
deemed irrelevant might prove very i'm |
portant. The cause was remanded for a |
new trial
The question whether or not the law of |
1869. in reference to minors property, re-
produced in articles 1900, 2667, 37I9 of RAYS
Revised Statutes, is repealed by articles
34I, 9339 of Rays Civil Code, was decided
by the Supreme Court about as follows
The law of 1869 is not in conflict with the
articles above quoted. The different pro-
visions OF the law might well be incorpo-
rated in the same act Thus. for instance,
the sale OF the property of minors shall be
authorized by the judge and made at public
auction, after having been duly advertised
IN the manner required for other judicial
advertisements, unless it be the wish of any
of the heirs interested therein to have the
sale made at private sale to effect parti-
ton, in which event it may be sold at pri-
vate sale on the advice CT a family meeting.

sent the MINOR, or minors, at the appraise- !
ment. anu on the terms fixed by the family
meeting, If the proceedings OF the family
meeting he homologated by the parish

Inc laws are not irreconcilable with each
other, and. therefore, the former law is not |
by implication. &c. c., 23I Re ,
peals by implication are not favored ~ | +
