No. 7508.
State ex rel. Isidore Newman vs. the Board of Liquidation.
There is nothing in the constitution of 1879 which curtails or abolishes the duties and functions of the Funding Board as created by Act 3 of 1874, so far as those duties and functions relate to the issue of consolidated bonds in exchange for valid outstanding obligations of the State, of the description specified in that act, and the acts supplementary and amendatory thereof.
^PPEAL from the Fifth District Court, parish of Orleans. Rogers,.
T. A. Flanagan for relator :
The intent and effect of the constitution of 1879 does not terminate the existence of the Funding Board created by Act 3 of 1874.
J. O. Egan, Attorney-General, and FT. N. Ogden, Assistant Attorney-General, for defendant and appellant.

Opinion:
The opinion of the court on the application for mandamus was delivered by White, J., on rehearing by Spenoeb, J.
White, J.
The relator seeks by mandamus to compel the funding of certain warrants which were outstanding and fundable under the provision of the Funding Act No. 3 of 1874. The lower court made the-mandamus peremptory. The State thereupon averring its interest in the .matter, took a devolutive appeal. We have been favored with no brief,, or even oral suggestion of error in the judgment appealed from by the-law officers of the State. We see no reason to disturb the judgment,, which is therefore affirmed.
