About two months ago says the Indiana
Messenger, the Supreme Court filed an opin-
ion on the application of Mrs. Mary Nc
Cracken for mandamus to compel Judge
White to certify to the proper President
Judge case which he had begun against
her and her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Daugh-
erty, in the Orphans Court Of this county.
In that opinion the Supreme Court said
that Judge White could not certify the
case to Judge Greer, of Butler county;
that the law gave him no right to select
his Judge, but he must certify it to the
President Judge residing nearest who is
disinterested, and suggested that Judge
Baker Of Cambria county, was the proper
Judge to hear the matter.
Mrs. McCracken served notice on Judge
White Of the opinion ofthe Supreme Court,
and requested him to certify the case as
therein directed. Her request was not
complied with, and she then served on him
a full copy of the Supreme Court opinion
This did not bring the answer, and on
Monday evening OF last week she prepared
and sent to the Supreme Court petition
setting forth the facts and certificate Of
of the Orphans Court, james McGregor,
that the case had not been certified.
The next day, Tuesday, Judge White
filed paper dated July 5th, certifying the
case, and then telegraphed to his attorney
in Philadelphia that he had certified the
case the proceeding Friday.
On last Wednesday the matter came
before the Supreme Court. The petition
telegram, ETC., were presented. The
Court took the papers and the next day
made the following order:
"And now, July IL, 1894, the within
petition presented, and upon due consid-
GRAFTON the first prayer (for mandamusl
is granted, and it is ordered that writ OF
mandamus issue accordingly, returnab!e
within twenty days. Per Curiam."
The matter will come up before the
Supreme Court again when the writ OF
mandamus is returned, which will be
August l.
