Appeals from Civil District Court, Parish of Orleans.


The above cases arise as the result of the Caernarvon crevasse which was artificially created in 1927. Each of the above cases involves a claim based on the charge that the claimant was deprived of the ability to earn his livelihood in his chosen occupation.
