CooL.-A few nights since resident
of Shockoe Hill was aroused by an unusual noise
in his house, and getting up to ascertain the
cause, discovered a man passing down flight OF
steps from the second to the first story, with q
chair in his hand. Not having the courage to
pursue the intruder, the proprietor of the house
ordered him to put the chair down, which be did,
walking of )eisureiy and taking q stand in front
of the house, where he remained several minutes.
After he had gone, Lieut.. Kelly, of the Night Po-

FLOUR IxsPnorIoH-JuprerAL Dncrsrox.
The trial OF the case of Crenshaw Fish err mill,
srs, against Daniel 8. Dslaplafne Fiour Inspector
Of this city, In Judge MsrsdIth's court which has
been before ajEry for . week, aud was ended on
Tuesday last, has attracted large share Of public
attention.
The suit was brought to recover the yalue of
the four drawn by the Inspector from the barrels
Of tho plaintiffs with "tryer" about one inch in
diameter while the law restricts the size Of the
"tryer" to one-half az inch, bat is silent a. to
the "drsft four
The only compensation given to the Inspector
was one cent per barrel 10 money, but practice
had prevailed among Inspectors to take for their
own use the draft four aad the legality Of this
practice was the subject of the courts decision
Judge Meredith, after thorough argument and
examination, decided that the Inspector had no
right to the 'drafs four" and the jury, In con.
formty with that decision, found verdict for the
m.iiers, Creushaw & Fisher, for S2,361 0s, the
value of the ''draft fcarD taken By the Inspector
from January lst, 1856, to July LIST. 1858.
Tho average cash value Of the draft -four per
dict thus making his fee three cent? per barrel in.
stead OF enc cent; and at that making the re.
ceipfs OF this office for the year 1863 when $50 600
barrels ofhour were inspected, $19,500, gross
rms large sum makes the Inspectors office the
most profitable ever known in Virginia, and We
are informed that.it Was proved on the trial
that bill had been introduced into the lower
house OF the General Assembly legaising this
practice, which Judge Meredith has decided has
no foundation noec 10 law
The Judge and jury went down to the ills and
saw the fsur inspected, and the draft four
then drawn BY the Inspector was weighed in their
presence and Notwithstanding to the mode in
which the "tryer" was used aud by whom-from
seven and three quarters to ten and half ounces
per barrel. haif inch 'tryer," made according
70 the statute, was also used, and that drew out
one and a halfounces.
From what we have heard since the verdict Of
the jury, an effort will be made get the case to
the Court OF Appeals.

SINGULAR CoINCIDRSCE-Idr and Fs1tters-The
Atlanta tGa) American anusingly speaks of the
lynching, near that city, of W. j. Bryant and Jas
Austin, two small-fry thieves haling from Rich
mond, Va. The American says:
They we're ordered to Jail. bat having proved
by some one that the prisoners would, perhaps, be
more esecureiy conveyed to prison in a carriage
and rs one happened to be near at hand. they
were, sans ceremony, ushered into the vehicle and
in company with the guard-who see med TO be
acting on their own esponsibilty-hurried off
On nearing the Jail, we are told that the horses
took fright and dashed eff at "kiiiug pace in
the direction Of McDonough. They were finally
drought to- at point some two miles and q
half from the city. Here, ia order to give the
horses ''chance to rest" the party dismounted
aud on doing so, discovered not far behind them
another vehicle which had likewise been run0u.n,
with. Singular coincidence, After short con.
ference between the occupants of the two runa.
wsy carriages, it was voted pity to take the poor
prisoners back to the city TO be confined in an
insecure Jail until the next term OF Court
Hence, the victims were gently admonished tc
'shack," ii. e. strip off their clothipg.) which
being done, they were ''bucked down." and their
bodies well annonted with the Gil of carriage hsr
ness trace. This being done, they we're "shayen
and shorn" of their fancy whiskers and locks and
rugged out with fine new wig OF tar with shan.
ghai trimmings, sent on "their way rejoicirg''-
not so mach, perhaps, in their admiration of AT.
anta hospitality, as in feeling reflection Of the
manner in which they were rescued from the
powers of Judge Bull.
