To the, honoratbl, the U Benate of the htate of
Loui,-ilana:
(iurntrcbmee -I have the honor to return without
my approval nn 1act originated in your honora
ble body. antitled "An ant annexing the par
Ishes of lberia and Ht. Martin to the I8xtoonth
Judicial District, and providing that the said
parishes shall form a part of that Judicial Dis
trhit, and annexing the parish of St. Mary tithe
Fifteenth Judicial District. and providing that
it shall be onf of the h arishes in the said dis
trict, and the parish of Cameron to the Eighth
Judicial District, of which it shall forma part
and for abolishiig the Third Judicial District.'1
The bill has as its result to catdoe the people
of the parishes of St. Mary, St.'Martin, behoia
and Cameron to have their causes brought be
fore and passed upon b u not eleted biy
them, and further to dertve of his office othe
judge of the ThirdJudealsi Distrlet Court by se
cia legislation. Whilst I by nomAans hold that
an officer himself has a vested right to the office
which he occupies. I am of opinion that the
right granted by article 53 of the Constitution to
the dlettion of a parish to have a voice in the
selection of their judge, is trenched upon by the
provisions of this bill.
I am further of the opiniton that one of the
chief bulwarks of a state is the independence of
i sjudieiary and that that the breaking up of the
judicial di-ricts during the term of office of
judges would have as its efidct to impair that
independence.
I am not to be understood as expressing any
opinion whatever as to the legality or propriety
of a general redistl icting of tile State, but con
fine mys-lf strictly to she case of the abolishing
of a particular court by special act bef, re the
expirati,,a of the te: m of offi:e of the incumbent,
and ther pl:tlang of the citizens of the various
sub-divisi',rs which compose the district under
the jurisdliction of a judge~ not el eted by them.
For these reasons I feel constrained to return
this hill with thise my objections.
