Syllabus

<p>Act No. 48 of 1900 abolished the justice of the peace court in the city of New Iberia, and established instead thereof “the City Court of the City of New Iberia,” and conferred upon the latter criminal jurisdiction of offenses committed in said city and not punishable by imprisonment at hard labor under the laws of the State. This grant of power was not intended to operate, nor did it operate a withdrawal from the judicial district court, for Iberia parish of its existing constitutional jurisdiction to try the same cases.</p>
