On. WATsoS's CAsE-THE RUaoR Con-

the best authority" contradicts the rumor
which it noticed on Saturday morning, and
which we copied from it, to the effect that
Lieutenant Cameron, of General Scho-
fields command, went through that city on
Friday, ea route to Lexington to arrest the
gentleman said to be the leader of those
who proposed to rescue DR.. Watson from
the custody of the military guard. The
NeorS now states that Lieutenant Cameron
was on his way to summon witnesses in the
case Of DR.. Watson, which comes on for
trial before the military commission on
Wednesday next. We suspected that such
was the errand of the Lieutenant; but his
early arrival in Lynchburg after the deci-
sion of General Schoaeld somewhat un-
settled that conclusion. With such dis
patch, however, as this indicates, the wit
nesses will no doubt be here in due time,
and the trial commenced according to ap-

INTERESTING LEGAL QUEsTION-BALANCE
AGAINST ADMINISTRATOR IN CONFEDERATE
MONEY HOW SETTLED.-Judge Meredith
has Just decided a case of much interest
to many fiduciaries in Virginia; and for
their benefit we publish the following corr
rect abstract of the facts and the deci-
sion on them. The case was this:
An administrator qualified in December,
1864. The personal property, consisting of
household and kitchen furniture, was sold
| in order to pay funeral expenses, doctors
bills, &c. The sale took place in Decem-
Der, 1864, and the property brought most
eXtravagant price in Confederate money,
to wit =: Sl6,693.36. The administrator
paid off all the debts (none being since
presented), and there was left in his hands
the sum of Sl2,284.29 on the lst of April,
1865. He filed bill in Judge Meredth's
Court asking how this balance should be
| liquidated. With the facts above stated
before him, and the additional fact that in
ordinary times, say in 1859 or 1860, the
proceeds of the sale Of the furniture would
have been barely more than sufficient to
paw the debts which the administrator
paid, the Judge decided, and very properly
too, we think, that, as the administrator
had the right to retain it in his hands for a
longer period, and as it could not have been
invested or distributed or further used in
the payment of debts, and as the Con-
federacy fell within four months after his
qualification, and before it was practicable
to obtain an order for the investment OF
said balance, the administrator should not
be required to discharge the said balance
in any other than Confederate currency,
and that the estate should be charged with
the same as loss.

MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF IRELAND.
In obedience to the call of Mr.. McWll-
liams, co. +. B., a meeting Of the friends
of Ireland was held last night at Mont
gomery Hail. on Wall street, and was well
attended. The meeting was an informal
one. and no one was called upon to pre-
side. Mr.. McWilliams, young man OF
fine appearance, addressed the meeting at
some length in behalf Of the cause of Ire
land, as an officer of the Roberts faction
of the Fenian Brotherhood. He alluded
first to the formation of the Brotherhood
and its objects; then Of the feasibility OF
the proposed plan for the dcliverance OF Ire
land, and concluded with an explanation
of the object of his visit, together with an
appeal to those present TO enroll themselves
either as soldiers to go to the field, or as
members Of q civil organization to support
those who went forth to fight. He did not
want money: he wished those who had no
ties or interests to hinder them from going
to the front to sign themselves as soldiers
of Ireland, and those who could not go he
wished to pledge themselves at least to
furnish a suit of green for some soldier.
After he had closed his remarks, num-
Der of those present went forward and
signed themselves as members OF the civil
or military organization, after which the
meeting dispersed. Mr.. McWilliams comes
direct from the Fenian headquarters IN
New York on a tour through this State.
He speaks tonight in Petersburg and to-
morrow night in Norfolk.
