aPEN ION rECIS on.
Mandalnus Issued to Restore Judge Longs
Bounty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Judge Brad
iev Of the District Supreme Court to-
dav rendered a decision that the pension
Office had no right to reduce the pension
Of Judge Long, of the Michigan supreme
Court. and issued mandamuS on 'He
Commissioner Of Pensions, directing MN
to restore Judge Long pension 10 Ihe
original figure. .-,.,,,..,.,1
The opinion Is similar TO that deiFefea
by Judge Bradley in the same case III
January. 1894. \ mandamus was tieH
issued against the reduction or Judge
Longs pension TO $50 month puT Oli
account of an error in the proceedings
OF the act Of December ., 1893, prescflp-
ing certain forms OF notice IN cases oI
reduction, the pension had been restored
and there remained no issue, except that
OF costs \ little later a suit was brought
i'm equity against the commissioner, ask
ing an injunction prohibiting the reduc-
tion of the pension, in which the same
law was involved.
This case was also decided (by Judge
Cox In favor OF Judge Long. because the
notice of reduction given was not thirty
days, as required by law.
In the matter of law, however, Judge
Cox decided contrary TO Judge Bradley
decision Of last January. ON account OF
the techncality In the notice given, the
case was not clear enough to take TO the
Court of Appeals. and another petition
for a writ of mandamus was filed. This
is the case In which Judge Bradley rem
dered his opinion to-day.

The Result of u Grand Coup Sprung by

not agree. and makes several suggestions
additional to those in his original opinion.
These are that the issuance OF certln-
cate giving Judge Long a pension of S72
q month was justified by law and by the
pensioners disability; tnat Commissioners
Lochren had no power 10 review ana re-
verse the action Of his predecessor upon
the same state OF facts for alleged error
in judgment. and no power to change
Judge Longs status on the pension rolls,
and that Commissioner Lochren, having
no discretion in the matter the court has
a right to command the Commissioner TO
revoke his order reducing the pension.
Secretary Hoke Smith was made a party
to tho action with Commissioner Loch-
ron. but Judge Bradley dismissed the pc
tltlon az to him. holding that no func-
tion was performed by him in the re-
vocation OF the pension certificate. and
that no act Is essential to be performed
by him to restore Judge Long to his
right.
The case will probably be taken to
the Court Of Appeals.
