We copy the following items from the
Baton Rouge Advocate;
The pariall OF st. Landry Ia having
some trouble about the pay of Jurors in
criminal prosecutions. Judge Lewis
has addfssed the police jury con,uu-
nication stating that he had no other
course to pursue, but to continue cases
where parties were ont on bond, ex-
cept where they insisted upon a trial
and to proceed as quickly as possible to
dispatch the twenty or thirty cases of
those confined in Jail. This appears to
he a reasonable conclusion, for surely
witnesses aud Jurors cannot bo expect
ed to serve the parish without pay,
particularly when large majority of
them are very poor people. Good for
Judge Lewis.
Editor Goodwin, of the st. Landry
Democrat, primed himself for mas
querade ball, having devoted much
time to his "make-up," and bent on full
ten hours sport. The sheriff took him
in as juror in criminal case on the
evening Of the ball, Uhereupon he en-
tered more special pleas aud bills of ex-
cept'On tFnn the attorney for the ac-
rnsed himself. 1t WAS no use, Mr.. Good
win WAS agreeable to State and defense
and went into the jury box with face

ing him 10 suspense and agony for
time, the case was continued and tue |
ball permitted to "roll."
