Cases Which Were Acted Upon Yester-
dsy-Court Notes-New Cases
Which We're Commenced
Yesterday.

Deputy Supreme Court Clerk NJ. j. Ash
more received two more decisions from
San Francisco yesterday on cases ap-
pealed from the Los Angeles district.
In the case Of Fred S. Gould (respon-
dent) vs. D. A. Stafford (appellant) the
judgment of the superior court of Santa
Barbara county is reversed and the
cause remanded for a new trial. The
suit was one for damages for the diver
sion of water from Montecito creek, by
the defendant, and for an injunction
perpetually restraining him from fur
ther interfering with the flow of water
in the creek. Staford's land adioined
the water course and was one mile above
that OF Gould. The lower court allowed
the injunction and awarded nominal
damages for the plaintiff.
In the case of VIM. Behlow VS.. j. De
Barth Shorb, an action appealed from
the superior court of this county, the
judgment is affirmed. This was an ac-
tion to recover $2943 % on account of
goods sold defendant by plaintiff. Shorb
moved to quash the summons because
the grounds on which the plaintiff
asked iudgmunt were not stated. The
motion was denied and the jury awarded
Behow a judgment in the sum Of
$326l.2l.
All LEA PLEADS GUILTY.
All Lea, who was charged with grand
larceny, changed his plea from not
guilty to guilty in Judge McKinley's
1rt nd b,
confinement at San Quentin for one
year. Lea was arrested by Officer Todd
on Requena street, on July 10th, for
stealing a watch from the officers
pocket while the latter was lying on the
ground, apparently drunk. Complaints
had been made of several instances of
''drunk-rolling" in the vicinity and
Todd set the trap for the Chinaman and
caught him. The evidence would surely
have convicted him.
DENIED HER LIBERTY.
Lille Bailey, the Alameda-street pros
titute charged with robbing young Mon
roy OF a sum of money, in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000, while the latter was
visiting her place, came before Judge
Mckinley yesterday on writ of habeas
corpus. Her release from the custody OF
that the testimony taken at the prelim-
mary examination before Justice Stan
ton went to show that Monroy had given
her the money of his own accord, and
that she was guilty of no crime. The
writ, however, was denied and the
woman was remanded to jail.
All SINGS TRIAL.
Yesterday was the second day of the
trial OF All Sing in Judge McKinley's
court on the charge of robbng DIR. Tom
She Bin. Sing is alleged to have sent
decov to the doctor, and after entcing
him to Chinatown, knocked him sense
less and robbed him of large sum of
money. The defense put in the greater
part OF the day yesterday attempting to
prove an alib. Before adjournment all
of the testimony was in and the case
will go to the jury this morning. The trial
OF Sing has drawn a large audience OF
Cinnamon to the court room.
