PITCOCk WINS MANDAMUS,

The supreme court Monday de eided that the Pulaski ehaneery court lad no jurisdiction III issu- ing mandamas to prohibit the removal oi oonFlcts= employed by the Arkansas Brick and Mana- featuring Company 10 the peni- tentiary and qua>hed the Judg- ment of the ehaneeTy court in inning Supt. Pltcock for violat- ing the order ot the court prohib- iting the removal of the conyiets. The judgment of the ehaneery court was based upon an opinion of the supreme court in which a contract entered into by the Pen ltentiary Board and the brick company was held to be valid, after which the board amended that contract by which 1t agreed to furnish the contractor with a sufficient number of conyicts to ma ke up the difference in number which the contractors failed to receive under their original con- tract.
 The court acknowledges that Pitcoek evaded service of process m order To disobey the injunction ot the chancery court, but holds that the chancery court was with out jurisdiction, consequently Pltcoek could not be fined for contempt. The court further holds that, as the State cannot be sued, the attempt of the chan ieery court 10 exercise jurisdiction Tn the matter was entirely void. he opinion also overrules the courts own decision i'll the Me 1onneIl case, In which the con- tract with the brick company was declared valid, a most un- usual proceeding for supreme court.
 The opinion was delivered by Chef Justice McCulloch and Jus tees Wood and Hart filed lon- curing opinions, aequieseing iii the decision, but on different grounds. Justice Battle filed q dissenting oplnion.-Gazette
