In July last, the Judge of Probates of the Parish cf St. James, was ordered to show cause on the first day of the November term, why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding him to give judgment on the petition of Joseph Henry Vanderlinden, &c. Our writ appears to have been served on the Judge on the 11th of August last, and he has shown no cause.

It is, therefore, ordered that the rule be made absolute.
