Judge Gilbert, of the New York Supreme
Court, in Brooklyn, on the 18th rendered a
decision in ciyil-rights case, wherein VIM.
+. johnson, colored, sought to compel the
principal Of public school to admit his son
instead of sending him to the school provided
for colored children. The court holds that
the common schools are public charity !;
that the benefits conferred by them are a free
Gift from the State, and, like every other
donor, the State may prescribe in what man
ner the gift may be enjoyed. In conclusion,
Judge Gilbert says that the statute,
by guaranteeing equal privileges, does
not confer the right to enjoy them
in common with any class of per-
sons, or in any particular school, and that
nothing has been shown from which it can
be inferred that the relator has been deprived
of the equality Of privilege to which he is en-
| titled The motion for a mandamus was de
