Judge Birdseye and Gideon l.. Walker had
long warfare of argument in quiet way, yesterday
before Judge Daniels, in Supreme Court. Chambers,
over the arrest Of Julius Paradise The firm Of Chisholm

they were merchants doing business in this city and
New-Orleans and possessed cash capital of $4,000
above all liabilities Soon after getting the goods the
buyers announced their insovent condition and offered
to pay 10 per cent Of their debt. John Paradise and
Caro- left the city, but Julius Paradise, being a
minor age 49, remained. He gas lodged
in Ludlowst Jail aud the effort is made TO lioerate him
through q motion TO vacate the order OF arrest. The
argument of Mr. Walker for young Paradise was that
the action originally eonaeto and not ex de-
lctn and be cited ChiefJusce Nelson's opinions An
action arising conaeto, though infected with
fraud cannot be changed into tort" On this authority
Mr. Walker claimed that infant could not be esOpped
from pleading infancy aud defeating the claim Judge
Birdseye bluntly charged the defendants, including
Juus with conspiracy to defraud his clients through
false representations of sOvency Julius Paradise lie
insisted from the beginning that the representa-
tions false and that they intending de-
fraud the Chisholm Brothers. Under the first fourth
SUBDIVISION OF the Code he they could
maintain the arrest They did not contract but
brought action TO regain property which had been OBJ
tanned under conspiracy 20 defTaud MIR. Walker
Piled that If an infant could not make contract he
could not make conspiracy. There was not a word
from the other side 20 prove that the representations
false at the time they were buying goods here,
there, anR everywhere, and became insolvent. That
being the case the infant was not liable Finally If the
case came under the fourth subdivision IL an
action eOatrdeO II 10 came under the first for deceit
then show that these persons about be
nonresdeuts AT the time OF the arrest. Of which
there was proof. Judge Daniels took the papers.
