--
Judge Halyburton having recovered from his recent indisposition, the following cases were disposed of in his Court yesterday:
William T. Hancock, who claims an exemption from military service on the ground that when arrested as a conscript he was over forty five years of age, was discharged after a hearing of his application.
The case of
Wm. H. Barton, committed to jail sometime since by order of
Commissioner Watson, upon the charge of having been guilty of a misdemeanor, was next taken up, when the
District Attorney refused further to prosecute the accused, on account of the evidence against him having been destroyed in the fire which consumed the old Court room some time last summer.
Barton was thereupon discharged.
On the petition of
James R. Farrell, claiming that he is illegally detained in custody by
Lt. J. T. Eubank, commanding company 1,32d Regiment N. C. troops, and praying a writ of
habeas corpus, said writ was awarded him, returnable before the said Court on the 11th day of February.
Security in the sum of $10,000 was required of
Michael Roseberry, committed to the jail of
Henrico county by order of
Wm. F. Watson,
C. S. Commissioner, on the charge of felony, that he appear before the
Confederate Court on the 10th day of the present month, to answer said charge.
Thomas V. Carr was required to give security in the sum of $10,000 to appear before the
C. S. Court on the 10th inst. to answer an indictment by the
Grand Jury for a misdemeanor.
A writ of
habeas corpus was awarded
William Wiles, on his petition setting forth that he is illegally detained in custody by
Capt.--
Conway, now stationed at Camp Gilmer, said writ to be returned on the 11th inst.
John Dunlop was, on his motion, licensed to practice as an attorney in the
Confederate States Court.
