: Favorably by resolution on the petition of

The following report and accompanying
resolution was read:
~. -. o,... c., NEW ORLEANS, idly %, 1873
Your committee to whom was: referred the
communication Of Hon. r. E. I4amond, Ad-
ministrator Of Police, tnclosing ole from Hon.
S. J. N. Smith, Recorder OF the First Record
er's Court, respectfully report that they have
examined the subject matter therein contain
ed, and after mature examination Of the
questions involved are OF opinion, that under
the law there are no such officers as "court
officers" but simply, as the law says, persons
on the police, who shall be detailed to serve in
each of said courts; but having been once de-
tailed are subject only to the orders OF the re-
corders.
Your committee find that the force of four,
provided by the law, is grossly inadequate to
the proper performance of the duties of Re-
corder Smiths court, and recommend that in
compliance with the clause of the law which
provides that the Council "shall provide with
all other necessary police force at said courts"
additional police officers be detailed to report
to the Recorder of the First District, and to
be under his exclusive control and orders
This seems to be the intention Of the law, and
to our mind wisely precludes any possibility
OF clash Of authority between the recorder
and the police authorities, which would in
eyitably be the case If they were subject to
the double control of the court and the police
authorities at the same time. Your commit
tee therefore recommend the adoption OF the
accompanying resolution.
Respectfully, etc,
CHARLES CAVANAC
Administrator of Commerce,
JAMES d. EDWARDS,
Administrator Of Waterworks and Public
Buildings.

Administrator of Police.

Hon. O. Cayanac, Administrator of Commerce:
Sa-Your favor of even date received, In re-
ply | have to say that, for the purposes of
speedy trial of the cases that come before
this court, there should be twelve court Off
GERS, but thus far have managed to keep my

that any less number would be insufficient,
and that the interests Of the city would suffer
thereby. Yours, respectfully,
