There is at present one prisoner
confined in the parish jail If pos
sible, we, hope that Judge Thomp-
son will dispose of this case at the
next term of the District Court,
which will be held next Monday

term, we believe the Judge is en-
powered to impanel a special jury
forithe trial of criminal cases, if
deemed necessary. In the interest
of economy. speedy trial of this
case would prove a blessing to the
parish. Otherwise the prisoner viii
remain in Jail, at public. expense,
