Clear on June l.
Court lteInss

The Supreme Court will probably render
opinions nearly every day till the end of the
term, as there is determination to clear
the docket.
In the Superior District Court on Satur.
day, May 20, Judge Lynch granted an ap-
peal in the case of L. C. Roudanez vs. the
city. This was on the order of the Supreme
Court, granted by Justice Morgan in No.
6327, May 20, on plaintiffs application for
writ of mandamus. The Supreme Court
was asked to fix the amount of the appeal
bond, but left it to the court below to re-
quire the proper amount.
This question was raised before Judge
Lynch and after lengthy argument he re-
served his decision one day.
The argument to justify the exacting of
larger bond than usual was, on the part
of the intervenor, the New Orleans Pacific
railroad, that the granting of an appeal
would necessarily postpone a final decree
several months, and If there was no more
surety against damage than the ordinary
amount to cover the costs, the road would
be parslyzed and no opportunity for redress
afforded in case the decision on appeal was
in its favor.
Judge Lynch did not exact an extraordi-
nary bond on this argument, but he re-
CURED an additional bond to pay all dam
ages. He also required the intervenor to
show by evidence May % the probable in
jury that would be caused.
The following communication shows that
the property holders are far from being
satisfied with this equitable decree, though
it is fortified by the declared doctrine OF
the Supreme Court:
NEW ORLEANS, May %, 1876.
To the Honorable Mayor and Administrators and
Hon. B. L. Lynch, judge Of the Superior Dis
way Company, &. B. Wheelock. Fresident
You will please to take notice that
IN the case of l.. C. Roudanez ct al.
vs.. the Mayor and Administrators, No.
q ,063, the plaintiffs and appellants
having rendered legal appeal bond in the
amount and conditioned according to law,
we will this day, OF as soon thereafter as
pra cticable. apply to tho Supreme Court Of
Louisiana for writs OF mandamus to compel
the court below to send up the suspensive
appeal on the bond rendered. and writs OF
prohibition TO prOhlblt tue cOutb anu inc
parties from executing the Judgment ap.
healed from. B. X. FORMAN,
H. N OGDEN,
Attorneys for L. C. Roudanez ct al.
In the States of the Union where the
practice still bears some resemblance to
that of England, lawyers exchange plead
ings till an issue is made up on which each
party is willing to enter court. 1t may we'll
be doubted, however, whether, even in the
loose style that many of the new States
provide for litigation, there can be found
another example Of making an issue with
the Judge. There was NO application for
anv writ in the case in the clerks Office of
the Supreme Court yesterday.
The Fourth District Court is still without
Judge.

MALTREAT1NG CHILD.-Residents on
Robertson, near Dumaine street. were
greatly shocked last Sunday by the terrible
cries of child in that nelghborhood. The
shrieks were so awful and prolonged that
neighbors invaded the house of Mrs. Au'
guste, mattress maker, and found the wo-
man Furnishing her child ont of all reason.
They thereupon compelled her to desist,
though the mother expressed herself fully
competent to do her own pounding without
interference on the part of anybody.
Colonel Bray heard Of the cruel treatment
and sent for the woman, especially as it
was reported that Mrs. Auguste had inhu-
manly stuck . mattress needle into the
child's flesh several times. The woman de-
MED that part of the story, but acknowl-
edged that she had whipped the little one
severely for stealing the baby . dinner. This
case will be attended to by the proper au-
thorities.
