THAT GOLD RUN CAsR.-Ths most. i'm
portant case upon ths calendar of the Su-
preme Court at the session just closed 10 this
city, and one Of great public interest in this
portion of the State, was that of The People
w. The Gold Run Ditch and Mining Com
pany. 1t was an appeal on the part Of the
Valley, or The People, from that portion Of
Judge Temples decision which permits n.y.
draulis mining to be carried on whenever
dams shall have been constructed which will
successfully hold back the coarser debris.
This appeal was properly upon the calendar,
and the Court was ready TO hear it, but, as
has bean his constant practice at every step

poned for another six months-until the No
vember term OF the Court. It has been
stated thst it was postponed because there
was another appeal in the same case, taken
on the part Of defendants, which the
Court desired to hear as tia same
tiIAe. The Judges of the Court
are authority for the statement that
this is not true; that 10 other appeal
was upon the calendar, but that il was purely
the action OF the attorney having charge of
the case in making the postponement. As an
evidence also that the case might and should
have been heard, it may be stated that
on behalf of the counsel responsible for
its continued postponement, another case,
private one, that of Scott vs. the Sierra
Flume and Lumber Company, in which he
was also counsel, was, upon uiotion, allowed

substituted for It was heard and disposed of.
The action in thus postpoDiug this important
case, and substituting private casa for it
before the Court, is sharply and Justly cTiti-
ci=e9, and it may be added, no cause f
such complaint could ever have occurred
had General II art, who had charge
of the trial in the Superior Court, still been
counsel for the paople.
All LEM THE HOG TlTIEF.-The Chinese,
Us q class, pay but little taxes. As criminals,
however, they occupy the sttsntion of the
Courts greater portion of the time, and be-
ing naturally very shrewd people, often
succeed in cheating justice. The case of Sc
June, which occupied one of the departments
Of the Superior Court for almost two weeks,
cost the county nearly a thousand dollars,
and this keeper Of an opium Joint and no.
torious receiver or stolen property was &C.
quilted. All Lem, the trapper Of hogs, how
ever. was not so fortunate an his countlyman,
SesJune, and was yesterday convicted of
stealing hogs, and will be sentenced for his
crime to-day. This Chinamsn seems TO be an
original thief, and the trap which he placed
in the tules 60 catch his neighbors porirers
with is as novel as it is original. He see ms
TO have done good business in the pork line
until his little game was detected. He put
in a general denial of "no sabbe," and
Judge Holl did his level best for his client,
but somehow the jury wOuidh't "cstch on,
and brought in verdics of guilty.
BOARD OF TRUsrEEs.-The Board OF Trus-
tees met in regular session at the new City
HALL a. 10 A. N. yesterday. The report of
Mark Foster, Chief Engineer of the Water
Works, was received. read, and placed on
file. The matter Of purchasing the right TO
use the Cottier system Of ventilation was con-
Eidered. T. I. Burke appeared before the
Board and urged the necessity of the c:ty's
purchasing that or some other system of yen-
tilation. He stated that in some portions Of
the city sickness was caused from the prev
alenee Of sewer gas, and the health of the
city demanded that some such immediate &C.
ton be taken. The matter was taken under
advisement and will be acted upon at next
meeting. After auditing and allowing
large number of bills, the Board adjourned.
ACTED Too FAsr.-Tha San Francisco
Breeder and Sportsman, commenting upon the
last meeting of the Capital Turf Club, of this
city, held last week, and at which drivers
were reinstated after having been expslled for
alleged misconduct IN the last trotting race,
says There was one phase which was en-
tirely overlooked in the meeting of the Cap
isal Turf Club, that being that it had no
power to reconsider q sentence Of expul-
sion. As the rules positively prohibit re-
instatement by q member, the parties ex-
PEELED are still under tine ban, which can only
be removed by following the right course"
