Especial to the SENTINEL
SAN Francisco, May 12.-The Examiner
this morning publishes an account of 9
compromise Of the famous bonanza suits
brought by John n. Burke against the
bonanza firm, ~aggregating about $50. 000.-
900. The register Of the Superior Court
shows that all Of said suits. with the ex-
ception Of one recently decided, has been
dismissed by consent Of the parties thereto.
These entries and signatures were made in
the handwriting Of the attorneys for the
defendant and plaintiffs, and appear upon
the register in an informal and illegal
manner, a. the Clerk Of the Court should
have made the entries. and no papers haze
been filed containing an account OF the
proceedings as required by law. 1t is I'M
derstood that this has been done against
the wish OF other stockholders (plaintiffs).
One Of the stockholders, Peter Chrystal,
has brought the matter to the at
tention Of Judge Sullivan, who has
made an order that the parties in the suits
shall show cause why the dismissal shall
not be annuIled, and Chrystsl allowed to
intervene. As soon as the attorneys heard
of Chrystals action, they yesterday filed
q dismissal in proper form. Mr.. Holiday,
n OF the banks attorneys, states that
Squire P. Dewey. who stood behind Burke,
was discouraged because he found that
whatever money was gained by the mining
suit, recently decided, would have to pass
through Floods hands, and had given the
matter up. Dewey declined to be inter-
viewed. The Examiner considers the pro-
ceedings conclusive proof that q bargain
between the parties was made without
reference to the interests and rights Of the
stockholders, and doubtless Burke got
handsomely paid for his compromise.
Both Houses Of the Legislature agreed
to adjourn tomorrow at noon.
A dispatch from Carson, Nevada, says
that the Lottery bill passed by the last
