Both the young men were in liquor, when a

The Richmond Examiner says:-Mr. Fitz-
hugh, ut' Caroline, who was prosecuted for
benz accessory 70 2 felony committed by his
servants IN burninga barn, applied to Judge
Meredith last week, iJr I; mandamus upon
the Auditor of Public Accounts to compel
him 10 issue his warrant on the Treasury Tor
the value o! tie slaves who bad been convic-
ted. Upon the return oiihe rule, the Judge
refused the manaamus. 1t appears that the
Auditor refused payment because the claim
ant was prosecuted as being accessory, and
had fled from the State to avoid IL trial. Ii
the owner had been convicted, the law denied
all compensation: and ii appears the Auditor
thought the claim should be suspended un-
til he was tried, and thereby determine
whether lie was or was not entitled to the
value OF the slaves, under the llth section Of
chapter -l2 oi the Code. Fitzhugh Is now
