St. Landry democrat., 1879-11-29

The following certified extract from
the minutes Of the 9Th District Court OF
st. Landry shows the amount Of work
done by Judge Hudspeth since his ac-
cession to the bench in this parish. Ii
shows the number Of civil and criminal
cases decided the length OF each term
of court, &c. We doubt if any Judge,
who has occupied the bench in this
parish can show 3 record Of more work
done in the same length of time.
That more has not been done, is not
the fault of the Judge, as an inspection
Of the docket will show, il the old civil
cases reaaining undiSposea Of, 4 large
majority has been continued by consent
of attorneys representing plaintiff aud
defcndcnt, from three to five times each.
An inspection Of the extract shows that
up to the close of the April term Of 1879
he had signed 22223 judgments in civil
cases and 1873 in criminal cases. From
these judgments the usual number OF
, appeals have been taken to the Supreme
! Court; but to date there has been but
three reversals, ono in criminal and tN Il
| in civil cases. In Calcasieu the minutes
OF the Court show seveutv-iive cases
tried. in civil and criminal eases, and
one reversal on appeal to the Supreme
Court:
