by the court, and the creditor paid in ac-
cOrdance herewith. As far as this account
is concerned, the mover is --, unless the
Supreme Court reverses the Judgment of
this court, dismissing her opposition.
At all events, the bank book of the ex-
ecutOrs shows, balance of Sl2,O05 go more
than sufficient to cover the claim of Mrs.
Leblanc, if any she has.
1t is therefore ordered, adjudged and de-
creed that the rule be dismissed, with costs.
Sixth District Court.
Judge Cooley rendered, last week. fifty
two judgments, among them thirty-two in
the cases against the city of New Orleans
to recover moneys illegally paid for taxes.
Seventh District Court.
B. L. Russell VS.. James +, Casey.-Sun-
pose that Cooney was not Casey's agent or
ub-agent-that plaintiff merely proves that
Saunders told Cooney as to a casual in.
qulrer on what condition he would lease the
farm to Casey, and the latter, or his avowed
agent, Dent on being informed of this took
possession of the farm as lessee, what then /?
Simply, that though COOney had been a
mere gO-between, the act of taking posses
sion after he had communicated the terms
was complete assent to the proposal, and
plaintiff having so treated it, there was
perfect contract.
Be this, however, as it may, there is no
doubt IN relation to the existence of a lease,
and in relation to the duration and price
hXed by the parties. All the witnesses agree
as to these principal points. The only dis
agreement is in regard to defendants ale
CATION OF condition that rent was to be
paid in case of overflow.
On this point, the onus of proof rests with
the defendant, and it matters not whether
a witness testifying for or against the truth
OF this allegation was or not at the time the
contract was made, the agent or emplOye of
this or that party.
If the condition was assented to by Saun-
ders, whether to CoOney, Dent or Casey,
then Russell would have been bound by the
stipulation. 1t matters not by whom the
fact is proved, if indeed it be proved; but,
as heretofore stated, in investigating the
ease, / de act think the proof sufficient
Dent is the only witness who testifes to
this condition; but he is fatty cOntradicted
by the two others, and, to say the least,
grave doubts arise, according to the rules
relative to burden and weight of proof,
against considering the stipulation as
fact.
The uncertainty about the loss of crop
from overflow is hardly removed by the
testimony taken since the first trial; but
am relieved from closely examining it, since
it is proved that by the laws of Mississippi
a tenant is not entitled to a reduction of
rent in case of loss of crop from overflow,
unless there be an express contract to that
effect.
Judgment for plaintiff, as prayed for.
Eighth District Court.
There was no session of this court yester-
day. To-day, however, it is expected that
Judge Dibble will render decisions in a
number Of cases now under advisement.
New Orleans Republican., 1872-05-07
YaIInasedn,s Defeat.

The New York San has Cuban adyices to
the tenth ultimO. fully confirming the de
feat OF Valmaseda at the head Of over $500
regulars, on the river Conto, by fore of
Cubans under General Vicente Garcia, on
the ninth. Valmaseda reached Santiago in
steamer from Monzetlo, which was
crowded with over two hundred and fifty
wounded, some of them in a dying cOndi-
ton. Two other steamers, filed with
wounded, came in soon after. 1t is claimed
that Valmaseda's loss was over 1900. Those
who were not killed or wounded fed in con-
fusion, throwing away their arms, ammuni-
ton, hats and shoes. Valmaseda said, on
