A HIGH CID COURT.

In Fridays DEMocBAT we paid q we'll
merited tribute to the ability, industry and
high moral worth OF the present Supreme
Court OF Louisiana. This morning we pro-
pose, by way Of contrast, to give brief
description OF the organization Of another
Supreme Court, equal in nominal dignity to
our Supreme Tribunal, but rather different
in Its personnel and manner Of conducting
judicial business. Perhaps some Of our oldest
Inhabitants will remember the incident we are
about to relate.
When, in the year 1910, the inhabitants Of
that portion of Louisiana now known as the
Florida parishes revolted against and over
threw the rule Of Spain, provisional govern
ment was organized, and, as a matter of
course, that government included supreme
judicial tribunal. Lawyers were not quite SO
plenty then as they are now, SO the appoint
ing power selected and commissioned as
judges of the high court referred to three
prominent men, neither of whom probably
had any particular knowledge of iurispru-
dence, namely, Fulesden Skipwith, Captain
Percy and a Mr.. Mather.
Skipwith, a Virginian by birth and educa-
lion, had been United States consul In France
and was stickler for precedents and similar
guides OF action. Percy was an Englishman,
had been an officer In the Royal Navy, and
bore about himself through life touch Of quar-
terdeck manners and habits OF Mather moth
ing Is known beyond the reported fact that he
was OF somewhat irritable temperament
and had a relish for "iugged GIN" a Dutch
drink then In vogue and which was put up
and sold in small stoneware jugs and bottles.
When the court was about to be organized
Mr.. Skipwith, whose reverence for forms we
have mentioned, was sorely perplexed as to
the proper modus procedendi, because of the
fact that neither Of the three judges had been
designated as Chief Justice. Not So however,
the bold mariner, Capt Percy. "Aw," said
he. IT can soon settle that trouble. Mr. Skip
with. you take that seat, sir, ii you please"
and he pointed to q chair on his right. Mr..
Mather, you take this one" and the Captain
indicated a chair on his left. Then, seating
himself between the two. 81 am the Chief
Justice" he exclaimed, with cool aptomb, and
so he remained.
One OF the first cases of which this court
took cognizance was that Of man accused of
having stolen horse. One version of the
affair is that the offense was charged to have
been committed in Georgia, but that was
probably fiction, invented for embellish-
ment. The accused begg ed the court to name
lawyer for his defense, pleading pecuniary
inability to employ one himself. Never mind
about lawyer" said the Chief Justice; "you
shall have fair trial, sir, and IL innocent will
be acquitted; but If you are found guilty, as
ithink you are, damn me If any law bubble is
going to let you slip through my fingers"
What the issue of the trial was we have for
Mather, in addressing the prisoner, aecosted
him as 'Mr. Damned Rascal would seem to
justify the assumption that it was a eonvie-
ton of the accused.
