CLOSING THEIR BUsNEss.-Act No. 80,
to amend article No. GA of the Code of
Practice, has been promulgated, and takes
the sting out of those engines of tyranny,
courts of justices of the peace. This amend
menU cxempts six hundred dollars worth
of poor mans property from seizure, and
he can now lie down to sleep knowing that
that insatiate, the constable, can not take
the table and dishes he eats off of, or the
chair lac sits on. This act will have the
effect to preserve a poor man from seizure,
and at tue same time nearly finish justices
of the peace. Most of them will now close
their Offices.

A STOLEN SLooP-On the twenty-sixth
ultimo our police received information that
a sloop had been stolen from the port of
Galveston. Captains Malone and Schneider
and detective Dnmas and officer Kramer
kept sharp eyes on arrivals, when they
found that the vessel had landed in the Old
canal, near Galvez street. No one was on
board at the time, but the officers waited
in the shade, expecting that some one would
turn up, and they were right. About mid
night Salvatore Pratts and Baptiste Nolear
appeared and went below. They were col
Jared, when they showed bill of sale from
some person on Bayou LafOurche. AS this
did not meet with belief from the police,
the men were sent to prison.

Fourth District Court.

Judge Theard decided the following:
Magruder & Chiffon VS.. Mira Clark
Gaines-This is suit brought to recover
the sum of $l0,9 $50 for professional services
rendered by Magruder & Chiffon, attorneys
at law, to Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, i'll the
case Of Duncan n. Henneu, argued before
the Supreme Court of the United States,
and submitted at the December term OF
1860, which case involved the validity of the
will of Daniel Clark, the legitimacy of Mrs.
Gaines, etc, and also for Obtaining the di-
vOTce, at the instance and request Of de
PENDANT, Of her daughter, Mrs. Whitney
StrOther, from her husband DR.. StrOther, in
the District Court of the District of COlum-
bia. in 1861.
The Zee in the first case, which il is al
legged, was contingent on the successful ia
sue Of the controversy, is fixed at $4,000;
and for the divorce case, the plaintiffs
claim $1,000, on account of which they ac-
knowledge a net payment Of $50, leaving.
therefore, Si0,9j0.
The demand is met by an answer from
Mrs. Gaines counsel denying that she ever
employed the law firm Of Magruder & Chill
ton, or either of them. in her case against
ID. h Henncu III the Supreme Court OF the
United States. nor did they render her any
services therein, nor did she have need of
their services, able counsel having previ-
OusIy been tngagcd, who did all that Was
to be done in her behalf. And further, Mrs
Gaines pleads the prescription Of three, five
and ten years.
The evidence offered by plaintiffs has sat
isiiud my mind that they have rendered
professional services in the case Of d. n.
Hrnnen before the United States Supreme
Court. and that the fee which they claim.
considering the successful issue of this I'M
pOrlant litigation, is quite reas 1nabIe. But
the testimony of Mrs. Gaines leaves me in
doubt as to their right to be paid tor their
services, as she sUemnly swears that tue
services rendered were purely voluntary
and gratuitOus, and for the sole purpose Of
allowing these eminent lawyers to appear
i'll that celebrated cause
BE this true or not. the claim of the
plaintiffs must be rejected, because it is pre-
scribed by the lapse of three years. G. G.
$685. Rays 3j3S. Although dependent on
contingency, which was the successful
termination OF the suit, it is nevertheless
prescribed, because the Hennen case was
decided at the December term Of 1860 lsee
Howard, 6l6), and because there is none OF
the Gaines cases pending in the Supreme
Court OF the United States since 1861.
As to the services rendered in the dI-
vorce case of her daughter, Mrs Gaines
admitted on the trial of this case an IN
dehtedness OF $500 to the plaintiffs, from
which is TO he deducted the amount Of 500
| on account They are therefore entitled
to Judgment of $3.50, with interest and
! costs.
Judgment accordingly.
