SUPREME COURT NOTES.

Application was made to the supreme
court yesterday for writ OF quo warranto
by A. G. Hospes and Attorney General w.
j. Hahn against the Lumbermen's Board of
exchange of Saltwater, to show cause by
what authority they claim the right:
First-To appoint an officer or officers or
agents to scale logs In the First lumber dis
trict of Minnesota.
Second-The franchise to keep and MAIN
tain record of such scaling
Third-The franchise to furnish its meln-
bers or other persons with copies of this
record.
The writ is returnable to the court
May 20.
In an opinion by Justice Mitchell made
public yesterday j. A. Temple, a Mime
apolis lawyer, on complaint of the MEM
berS of the Hennepin county bar, was held
to have been guilty of wilful misconduct in
his profession and was suspended from prac-
tice in any of the courts of the state for six
months. It seems Mrs. Dickinson placed
note in Temples hands against Mrs.
O'Neil, clearinghouse keeper, for colec-
ton. Thereupon Temple sent his law
partner, Goss, to Mrs. O'Neips to board,
telling that lady he would indorse Goss'
board bill on the Dickinson note towards
it's payment. This was done and the
amount of the board bill was never paid
Mrs. Dickinson or any one else. Mrs.
Dickinson withdrew the note from Temple
hands and recovered the whole face and
interest from Mrs. O'Neil, and Temple did
not square up the GosS board account with
the latter. The Minneapolis bar adjudged
this too sharp practice for one of their cloth
and consequently the offender is deservedly
hung up.
Justice Mitchell dismissed the writ of
quo warranto in the case of Mrs. Ella Cor
ton, elected school superintendent over John
D. Wilcox in Pine county, holding that
under the General Statutes of 1878, chapter
SO, section 13, woman is eligible in
Minnesota to the office of county school
superintendent
Justice Mitchell also rules in an opinion
that objections to the competency of evil
dence in the courts must be made when the
evidence is offered, or as soon as this incOm-
potency is known. 1t is not enough to wait
until this character of evidence is given to
the courts.
In another opinion the same justice rules
that wife living with her husband has the
right to contract the wages of domestic
for service in the family without the con-
sent of her lord, and that the latter must
foot the bill like man, if it is within the
bounds of reason.
In another opinion Justice Mitchell rules
if a party procure the conveyance of
property knowing that there is an unre-
corded deed of the same in the title of an
other, that this act is a fraud to defeat the
unregistered title. Such property recon-
veyed to an innocent purchaser, and the
property protected by registration maeks the
first party liable for damages to the
amount of the whole worth of the property
to the owner of the unrecDlyled deed.
Real Estate.
The raw and very unpleasant weather
yesterday had decided tendency to curtail
transactions in real estate, and business was
accordingly comparatively quiet. The fol-
