Our New Criminal Judge.
The Opinions of the Press
Look Upon this Picture.
FIR m the ficayuue. April IL

Judge A. A. Atocha who has recently
been appointed by Gov. Kellogg Judge of
the Superior Criminal Court for the parish
of Orleans, is a native of this city, being
connected with some Of our oldest and most
respectable families. He is now about forty
years of age. He studied law in New York,
under the guidance of that eminent iurist
and advocate, Charles O'Conor. After Mr..
AtOcha was licensed as an attorney and
counselor at law, he practiced his profession
i'll that city for several years When the
war broke out Judge Atocha resided in New
York. He came to New Orleans soon after
its capture, and was appointed Provost
Judge by Gen. Banks. We are informed
that he acted kindly toward our citizens,
and that on no occasion did he refl e to
serve them as far as consistent with the du-
ties he had to perform. At the end of the
war Judge Atocha devoted his attention to
the practice of law i'll this city, where he
has since shown much ability and learning
in criminal jurispi udence.
From Saturdays Picayune we find the fol
lowing in speaking of the appointments tol
the Criminal Court:
Judge, A. A. Atocha Clerk, John Fitzpat-
rick Deputy Clerk, X. n. Johnson Assis-
tant Clerks, Louis GaStinel and Lionel
Adams; jury Commissioners, w. NJ. Small
wood and Gadane Cazanave. These are all
well known, and will, doubtless, pretty gen
orally meet with appreciation.
