Supreme Court Opinions

Two supreme court opinions were re-
ceiyed at the office of the clerk in this city
yesterday for filling.
The first is that of ]. B. Runk, appellant,
vs.. San Diego Flume company, respond
ent, and is an action to recover damages
for an alleged malicious prosecution. 1t is
alleged by the appellant that he was falsely
imprisoned at the Iusiigaton of the hume
company for two hours, when he was re-
leased on 500 bail, and at his trial was
acquitted. Suit was instituted to recover
$500. A demurrer to the complaint on
the grounds that it does not state csuse
of action, that in specific particulars it is
uncertain, and that two causes of action
are improperly joined therein, was sus-
tanned by the trial court, and thereupon,
plaintiff declining to amend his complaint.
judgment passed for the defendants. from
which an appeal was taken, plaintiff con.
tending that the court erred in sustaining
the demurrer. The supreme court holds
that the complaint is good. reverses the
judgment and remands the cause with di-
demurrer. The opinion is written by Com
missioner Van Clief, concurred in by
Commissioners Betcher and Searls. and is
affirmed by Justices Mcfarland, Temple
and Henshaw.
The second opinion is that in the case of
G. E. De Lang, plaintiff and appellant, vs..
S. e. Knapp and H. A. Howard, defend
from the Judgment and from the order of
the lower court denying new trial. The
action was to quiet title to leo acres of
land. One Neil, from whom both plaintiff
and defendants deraign title, entered the
land in controversy under the United
Stales homestead laws. and in due time
received a patent. Neal later by deed
Treanor, who six weeks later transferred
it back to Neal. Five days later def
cheney judgment was dockeied against
Neal and in favor of this plaintiff. The
land in controversy was then subjected to
levy, and was subsequently, sold at public
auction and purchased by this plaintiff.
Thereafter Neal executed his deed of grant
to the same land to one Pauly, to whose
title these defendants afterwards sue
ceeded. The court holds that the transfer
from Neal to Treanor removed the home.

BOY GIVEN HIS LIBERTY
The Charge of Burglary Against
Harry Moffitt Dismissed
THE FACTS IN THE CASE
Not Sufficient TO Warrant Sending the
Lad TO Prison
The Charge Of Insanity Against Hrs. Annie
n. Sj,berg Dlsmissed-That Sawed
OFF House-Court Notes

The fact that Harry Moff1tt told the
truth, and did not try to lie out Of the ugly
scrape into which he got himself, after the
usual manner of the orthodox bad boy. is
the reason that he is free today and not
behind the bars at the county jail, awaiting
transportation to the reform school at
Whittier. The boy, who is bright, manly
fellow, giving every indication that he has
been we'll raised, was before Judge Smith
yesterday morning to answer to charge
of burglary. The charge in itself was an
absurdity, but under the Law the boy was
technically guilty. Young Dofitt, with q
companion, was walking along Spring
street. and in passing a tobacco and cigar
stand. espie0 some cigarettes displayed in
= window just out of range of vision of the
owner. The boys pried open the window,
distracted package or two of the cigar
cites, and, sitting on the curb, proceeded
10 enjoy their weeds. Later Young Moff1tt
was arrested and the charge of burglary
lodged against him.
Yesterday when the case was called Mof.
t1tt pleaded guilty to burglary in the first
degree.
Judge Smith, under the circumstances,
refused to accept the plea, as he was ad-
verse to sending SO young boy to state's 9
N
torney Williams, who represented the peo-
pie. His honor accordingly questioned the
boy. when it Was brought out that he was
the son of poor widow. that he had al.
ways worked and applied the money to the
support OF himself and his mother; fur
!hermore, that he had always borne good
character and that this was his first of
tense.
After some consultation, IL was suQ-
rested that the charge be reduced to petty
larceny, and that the boy be sent to the re-
iorIn school at Whittier. As this could not
be done Mr.. Williams suggested that he
lisniss the complaint and tile new coin.

HARD ON CATS.

A French Government Commissioner Gen.
 sures the Conduct ef Official Cats.
 The Trench government ,.as just had occasion to appoint a commission to inquire iEto the grievances of the cats in its employ. Their report isan anus ing exhibition of official stupidity, and will rouse righteous Indignation in the bosom of all friends Of the useful nlouser.
 It appears that cats are kept in some of the French military magazines to keep down the surplus population of rats and mice. Their food is regulated by ministerial decree according to cir cumstances, and at present there is regulation in force authorizing an eX- penditure of 21s centimes per cat per diem. But this does not seem enough, as the unfortunate governmental cats have grown extremely thin, So at last the ministry appointed specialists to inquire into the matter. These have gravely reported that "the cats of the army are very slow to accustom them selves to the diet prescribed by the gov ernment circular. Thus they seldom eat bread, and never lap up greasy wa ter unless actually driven thereto by bangs of hunger, so that they are dy ing off or else abandoning the military mag aZines."

MEDICINE AND POLITICS.

There was a test of endurance last night on the corner of First ave- nue and Adams street, between the diff ferent political clubs marching and "whooping it up" generally, and the California Medicine company, who, with their concert company, held their ground, not only keeping the crowd, butt selling medicine. We doubt if they could have done so without their great scheme of giving presents, which seem to hold people when nothing else will. The majority of persons are easily at- tracted as well as interested in any kind of scheme where chance or luck decides the the fate of a gift These men are very liberal and fair in their conduct of distribution. Valuable dia- mond rings are part of the inducements but most of the articles are useful as well as ornamental.
