Something OF Interest.

The Judiciary Committee of the
Constitutional Convention has
unanimously adopted judiciary
system which embraces the fol-
lowing innovations, and which
will doubtless be adopted by the
convention, namely:
St. Landry is created judicial
district, which will be the 10th
district, and the voters of this
parish will elect a Judge and
District Attorney of it's own.
The election for these officers
is to take place at the same time
of the congressional election, and
not at the general State election.
The District Judge is required
to keep his court open for ten
months in the year.
All misdemeanors are to be
tried by the judge without inter-
vention of juries,
In trials before a jury of five,
four can find a verdict.
In all criminal cases less than
capital, tried before a jury of
twelve, nine jurors concurring
can find a verdict.
The Legislature is required to
provide for the expeditions sum-
moning of jurors when required.
Two sessions of the Grand Jury
are required annually. l.
Justices of the Peace will be
required to possess qualifications
to be fixed by the Legislature,
and will not be allowed fees in
criminal cases nor in peace bond
cases.
Appeals from the Justice of
Peace Court to the District Court
are allowed without regard to the
amount involved.
Appeals on questions of law to
the Supreme Court from the
courts of appeals by writs of
error are allowed.
The judges eff Courts of Appeal
are to be elected by the people,
instead of by the Legislature.

tionalities may be notified of its
existence.
2. Ships already at sea when
proclamation is made must upon
arrest be notified and permitted
to depart for some other than the

3. Ships so notified, and all
ships sailing after proclma-
tion of blockade has been made
are liable to capture on attempt
ing to pass the blockade.
). In case of capture they and
their cargoes are contiscated, but
neither their officers nor seamen,

They are guilty of no crime.
5. No neutral nation is bound to
respect any blockade until it is
made effective. If it IS not so
neutrals resent and resist the seiz-
ure of their ships attempting to
trade with "paper'' blockaded
ports.
6. Ships of the enemy are sub
ject to capture anywhere at sea,
without reference to the ports
from or to which they are going.
Neutral ships are subject to cap
ture only when trying to break the
blockade.
