A JUST PROTEST.

Several citizens of st. Bernard parish,
Messrs. A. Cassard. E. Dabova1 A. J. Padron,
B.A. Barosse, @. Marrero, and others, resi-
dents and taxpayers thereof, WILL on Monday
next, file o petition in the Second Judicial
District Court Don A. Pardee, Judge to en-
join the tax collector of said parish, Mr.. Z. e.
Nunez, from receiving in payment Of taxes,
the judgments rendered by the parish court
of st. Bernard in the suit Of A. Z. Livaudais
vs. Parish Of st. Bernard, Of E. L. Nunez ct
ais. vs.. the Police Jury OF st. Bernard, and
other cases, wherein the amount of $500 is
adjudged and deCreed to be due by the parish
to said plaintiffs, The petitioners, in this
case, Cassard VS.. the Police Jury, allege that
the claims are fraudulent and that the judg-
ments have been illegally rendered.
They base their allegations on different
grounds, as the cases upon which said judy
ments are based were never fixed, tried or
submitted In open court; were never rem
dered with evidence adduoed, and were not
signed In open court.
The claims upon which the judgments are
based, are for moneys advanced to the parish
officials under the Kellogg regime.
