The Clleeyers Case.
Decision IF tire Supreme Court Overriding
Defendants Motion to Dismiss
the Appeal.

III the case cf the State Of Louis lana
&c ycl. Attorney General ct ais. Is. Jno. A.
Cheevers, Judge Of this Judicial District,
it will be remembered that Judge Michael
Hahn recently rendered a decision sus-
tanning defendants exception that the
District Court is without jurisdiction
ratione materiG to try the cause, and that
All appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court on this point.
Defendant subsequently appeared be-
fore the latter tribunal and moved to
dismiss the appeal, on the ground that
the transcript was not filed within the
delay prescribed and required by law.
On Monday last the Supreme Court dis
posed Of this motion by the following
decision, rendered by Justice Todd with
the concurrence Of all the other Judges:
The motion to dismiss the appeal is on
the ground that tile transcript was not
filed i'll time.
The suit Involves the right to an office
and is brought ander the intrusion act.
The law in such cases requires that an
appeal shall be returnable in ten days
after Judgment Of the lower court" Sec
LlOu uCU ~, CAGIit StSSlOIl VI 4C5U. 1uc
judgment appealed from was signed on
the 29th March, 1881, and the appeal
was granted the same day, and made re-
turnable to this court in ten days. The
transcript was filed here on the 9th Of
April. Even conceding that the ten days
delay expired Oh the 9Th Of April, as
commended for by the appelee's counsel,
still there is nothing in this case that
takes it out Of the operation Of the rule
fixed and established By the jurispra-
dence Of the State, that transcript Of
appeal may be filed within the three
judicial days following the first return
day. 80 A., 8O1.
The transcript was therefore filed in
time. Motion to dismiss refused.
The exception appealed from is now
before the court on its merits, and de
cision will doubtless be rendered at an
early day.

crossed the track ahead of it and ran into
