THE POUND ORDINANCE.

In 1874 the city of New Orleans brought suit
against the Society for the Prevention and Sup
prosson of Cruelty to Animals, enjoining the
association from impounding any animal
found estray In the limits of the city.
The action was pending before the Superior
District Court. and upon the abolition Of the
latter court. the case was transferred to the
Third District Court. Yesterday Judge Monroe
rendered his decision In the suit perpetuating
the Injunction In so far as to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from exercising their alleged right Of
fmDounding animals In place exclusively un-
der their management. The association Is al
lowed to exercise Its right OF preventing cruelty
to animals but it is forbidden to trespass ON the
general laws Of the State and ordinances of the
city Of New Orleans which provide for the dis
position OF stray. animals, and. therefore, de-
PENDANTS are, enioined from interfering with
the city Of New Orleans in any manner ia

ministration SERIES otherwise the case will be
non-suited. the costs OF court to be borne BY

The association will appeal to the Supreme
Court.

.FLANKIaG TIE QUARANTINE. y

There has apparently been slight misap-
prehension of facts in an article headed Flank
Ing the Quarantine" which appeared in the
reportorial columns Of the Times Of yesterday.
This purports to convey the intelligence that
three gentlemen from Havana avoided the Mis-
sissippi river quarantine purposely by landing
in Florida and coming thence by rail TO this
city. The report was evidently written in con-
formity with the theory that rs it is an impossi-
bility to enforce rigid quarantine regulations a
rigid quarantine should be abandoned.
BY the most competent authority we are au-
thorized to say that tho three gentlemen speci-
fled We're Messrs. +. Bristow Z. q. Maxim and

Yesterday evening Mr.. McGloin resumed his
argument on behalf OF the plaintiffs In the
various suits growing out OF the suspension OF
'' He ee stated that since the Surts had last sat
Jointly the first exception urged by defendants,
viz. that owing to the judgment OF forfeiture
rendered by the Fourth District Court the
present suits could not be prosecuted. had been
disposed OF by decree of the Supreme Court
maintaining the suspensive appeal taken from
that judgment.
He argued that the statute under which the
banks directors were proceeded against was
remedial. as we'll as penal. in Its character. and
therefore the rule OF strict construction OF
statutes wholly penal could not be invoked by
them That the directors were liable solidarity.
the very words of the statute preclud1nR the
idea of an obligation merely joint He closed
by quoting numerous definitions OF the words
whereby every director was made individually
liable for all the debts Of the bank under the
facts alleged In the petitions.
Mr. E. #. Florance was the next speaker.
He maintained that plaintiffs had three cnuses
Of action against the directors. arising: From
their infringement Of the free banking act In the
matter of discounts and loans; O. From the
publication OF false statements regarding me
their acceptance Of deposits when they knew
that the bank was insolvent. His argument
and nutlOTlGlGS were mainly w buoW
that the suits were not premature. as the mere
failure OF the bank to cash checks on demand
gave creditors the right to sue without idul-
dation of its affairs being first effected or pro-
ceedinge In insolvency instituted.

exceptions fled amounted merely to the propo-
sition that the assets of the bank must be- dis,
tributed before such suits as those at bar could
be brought, which position, he argued. was I'M
| tenable. He thought that the statute under dis
cussion was purely remedial In Its nature. and
could be proceeded under by any creditor OF
the bank. not by the State authorities as con
| tended by his opponent. He argued that IL the
| position taken BY defendants counsel were cor
rect that such suits. If not brought by the State
authorities must be instituted by the liauida-
tors. the law might sometimes lead to the absurd
ity of requiring persons as ligutdatorsto bring
| suit against themselves as directors. He re-
viewed and commented at length upon the 1, au-
| thorities cited by defendants counsel to show
that they werei inapplicabe to the present
| cases. as they were constituting statutes which
| differed from the Louisiana law, in that they
made directors liable only for the deficit which
might exist after a.liquldation OF the assets OF

Upon the conclusion Of his argument further
discussion in the case was continued to Friday
evening next.
