Mr.. A. Levy, the wide-awake junior
member Of the extensive mercantile
firm of j. Myers g. Co., has been in New
York for several weeks giving his per-
sonal attention to the selection OF the
spring and summer stock for their store
here. Many of the goods have already
arrived, and more coming in daily, and
it is safe to say that j. Meyers Il Co.
will open the spring trade with, per-
haps, the largest and best assorted stock
Of goods in the parish. Az Mr.. Levy is
experienced and a close buyer, thor
oughly posted as to the needs OF this
section, and is taking all the advantages
afforded by making his purchases from
first hands aud at the lowest prices, J.
Meyers & Co. will doubtless be in po-
sition to offer still better inducements
to their patrons in future-and they
never have been backward in tnat re-
spect In the past.

In the case of the State Of Louisiana
VS.. Gerassin Meche ct ais, (known as
the Regulator case,) from our District
Court, the. following opinion from the
Supreme Court was read on Monday
last:
In trial under an Indictment for
burglary under the provisions OF sec.
ton $50 of the Revised Statutes OF
Louisiana, as we'll as at common law,
the intent with which the entry was
made is the essential ingredient OF the
crime charged. The otfense is not com
plete without the felonious intent with
out which it would be- merely tres
pass. In general the intent may be pre-
sumed from what the offender actually
does after breaking and entering. Ii
be commit a felony, it may be fairly
presumed that he entered for that puT-
pose. But this, like other presumptIons,
may be submitted. Hence, in the trial
of u charge OF breaking and entering
with intent to kill, the State is restrict
ed to proof of that intent. and the ac-
cused cannot be convicted OF any other
felony.
In such a case the accused must be al
lowed to introduce testimony to show
that his intent was anytnlng elSo DuC
that to kill, even il the intent was i'll
itself unlawful and upjustitiable in law.
The accused must be allowed to prove
all the circumstances surrounding or
claracterizing his illegal intent. A
partial explanation is not sufficient. and
a ruling of the trial judge excluding
evidence to show the real and whole
intent is erroneous. The object OF such
testimony is not to justify or mitigate
the offense charged, but merely to ne
gative or rebut the presumption of the
intent to kill.
The Jury should be the sole judges of
the effect of such evidence as going to
show the real intent with which the
entry was etfcted. Under such charge,
if the evidence shows that the accused
committed some other unlawful act,
but not with the intent to kill, as laid
in the Indictment, he cannot be convict
ed. In the absence of proof Of intent to
kill, or in case of proof negativlng such
intent, there is no burglary.
Judgment reversed in three cases,
which are remanded for tlial.
Associate Justice Fenner dissents.
