Youthful Hopes BIighted.

John Massey ard Estera Rich
ard, the clipping Juveniles, were
found yesterday at the Lodi House,
Santa Monica, where they had gone
to wait for the next up steamer.
Chief Harris from the first sup
pected that the mother Of the
would.be Benedict knew something
of the movements of her son aud,
therefore, set a watch on her move
ments. Yesterday morning his as
tuteness was rewarded by seeing
her take a buggy and drive off. An
officer follow ed her and was led to
Santa Monica, where he found the
children as above stated. They
were brought to the city and taken
before Judge Baldwin, who turned
the girl over to her mother aud
held the boy in his own recogni-
zance to appear on Monday morn
ing.
The boy says that he and his
inamorata climbed over the fence
Of her back yard about half past
niue o'clock on Wednesday night
and started afoot for Santa
Monica, where they arrived about
two o'clock the next morning. He
further states that for the past
three weeks his companion, whom
he has dearly loved all that time,
has been urging him, If lie loved
her, to ut once take her from her
cruel parents. Her opportunities
at length prevailed, aud, with six
dollars in cash and pair of brace.
let's, they started out to face the
world The bracelets, which were
her exclusive property, were hy-
poth+caled at Santa Monica, and
the joint cash fund thereby in
creased to $15, with $40 of which
they intended to procure steer
age passage to San Fran
cisco and there commence their
loving journey through life. The
cruel, unsympHthetlc law, however,
has now uipped their bud ling
aspirations and relegated them to
home rule, under which, it Is to be
hoped, they will Iemain until
years OF discretion are reached.
The girl, who, it il said, il a pros
pective heiress to $40, 900, says that
she loves her Johnny and will
marry him, even II she has to wait
until she IS eighteen.

Supreme Court Decisions.

The following decisions in Los
Angeles cases were rendered by
the Supreme Court this week:
Lower VS.. McGill - Appeal dis
missed.
Sherburne VS.. White - Appeal
dismissed
Graft vs.. Mesmer Under Sec
lions 1929 and 1873 Of the Code oil
Civil Procedure, the guardian, not
withstanding the revocation OF his
letters, might have been cited by
the Probate Court to render his
final account, the settlement OF
which by the Court would have
cOncluslvely established the
amount due to the ward, even az
against the sur ,ties in the official
bond of the guardian II, o1 being
cited for that purpose, the late
guardian had refused or neg elected
To render the account, he might
have been compelled by attach
ment to do SO; or II, for any reason,
that remedy was unavailing, the
Court might have caused the &c
count to be made up, audited and
settled upon such evidence as
should be adduced OH behalf oil
the ward. 1t appears from
the findings that in March, 1876,
tho then guardian filed in The Pro
bate Court q statement of his ac
counts, showing a balance then
due to the ward; but this account
was never settled or allowed by the
Court, aud no final account was
rendered by the guardian prior To
the revocation of his letters in the
succeeding August, nor at any time
thereafter, 30 far AS the Case shows
On these facts, we are of opinion that
ALI action will not lie against the
sureties in the bond, to recover ! he
balance shown to be due by the &C
count rendered In March, 1875. 1t
is the peculiar province of the Pro-
bate Court to settle the accounts oI
guardians; and as we have seen, IL
has authority to do So, even after
the letters are revoked. The statute
contemplates that its power in that
respect shall be exclusive in those
cases In which the necessary au-
thority has been conferred, as IN
this case. II the rule were other
wise, u suit against the sureties on
the official bond would often in
volve the settlement of compli-
Gated account before jury inst lead
ola Probate Court which possesses
peculiar facilities for scrutinizing
the accounts and holding the guar
dian to a'proper accountability.
For these reasons the demurrer to
the complaint ought 10 have been
sustained.
Judgment and order reversed and
cause remanded, with an order to
the Court below to sustain the de-
murrer to the complaint.

As our people are interested In
anything which, by lnaugurating a
lively competition, will have a
tendency to reduce freights and
fares between Los Angeles aud
San Francisco, we summarize the
following steamship items: On the
18th of the current month the ar
rangement by which Capt. George
Wrigh:'s steamer, the Olympia,
has been tied ur, expires. AS
Capt. Wright has spent the past
few weeks down here, the proba-
bility is extreme that he was look
ing around for some employment
for his steamer, in the event Of her
tying-up contract not being re-
newed. On the LIST of February
the arrangement by which Captain
John Wright's steamer, the VIM.
faber, has been tied up, expires.
II her owner is not paid for keep
ing her longer in the dry dock, he,
also, will probably make break
for the southern waters with the
Taber. Finally, the Oregon steam
ship company are waiting for the
arrival of their new steamer Ore
gon, which has been lately turned
off the docks at Chester, Pen nsyl-
vania, upon which. event they are
expected to put the City of Ches-
ter, now on the northern waters,
on between San Francisco and Los
Angeles. So that, altogether,
when we take into the count the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company,
the two Wrights, the Oregon
Steamship Company and the Nc
Fadden Brothers, the outlook for q
lively deal, with low freights and
fares, is good one.
We found on our desk yesterday
about the sixteenth of an ounce OF
dried fruit, with the card of the
donor, for which, we imagine, be
expects about dollar and half's
worth Of local notice. In this case
the specimen left was not large
enough to give one an idea of the
flavor of the fruit, and we, there
fore, are debarred the pleasure ol
giving the desired D. H. advertise
rn-nt. While on this subject we
will advert to another imposition
to which the newspaper fraternity
are subjected. Publishers of new
music generously forward to news
papers copies of new music, gen.
orally printed on inferior paper
and marked editors copy" ac'
companied by a fulsome puff,
which the editor is requested Ia
publish, off he does not wish tn
write sonnet hing bstter." The re-
tail price Of the music varies from
Zoe. to 50c., while the notice is
never less than ten lines, which al
loo. u liue, our usual price fer loo al
notices, is just one dollar and q
half. No, no, Messieurs publishers
none for us. We prefer to buy
any music we may need.
