State ex rel. Graham v. Judge of the Eighth District Court

The relator shows that he appealed suspensively from a judgment against him in the case of The State ex rel. The Board of State Assessors v. James Graham, Auditor, in the Eighth District Court for the parish of Orleans, and that after he had filed the transcript of appeal in this court proceedings were instituted against him in the lower court to dismiss the appeal and execute the judgment appealed from by him, and that in pursuance thereof he was imprisoned on the order of the judge a quo for contempt of court in not executing the said judgment. He therefore asked for a writ of prohibition. '
