Interesting Decision.

In the Fauquicr (Va.) Circuit
Court on Wednesday last, Judge
Thomas delivered a lengthy and able
opinion upon the much mootcd ques-
ton Of the validity and binding effect
of land sales made during the war,
in consideration of Confederate treas
ury notes as the purchase money.
The question arose in the case of
William A. Stewart and George W.
Palmer VS.. James Hanback-unlaw-
fnl detainer. This is an action insti-
tuted by the plaintiffs to recover the
possession of a tract Of land called
Wavcrly, n mile and half from
Warrcnton. The trial of the case
engaged the attention of the Court
for three days, and the main point in
the case was as TO the validity Of a
deed executed BY X. NJ. Smith TO the
plaintiffs in June, 1868, the consider
alton of which was Confederate money,
Hanback, entered upon the possession
of the land in 1862, and held it as
the tenant of Smith. Smith sold and
conveyed TO the plaintiffs, by thu
deed Of June, 1868. The question
upon the deed was raised by the de-
fendant's counsel By a motion TO ex.
clude il as evidence from the jury
aud was claborately argued BY Messrs
Helm and lIunton for the defendant
and by Messrs. Tucker and Shackcl.
ford Tor the complainants. The Court
overruled the motion TO exclude, ant
allowed the deed to go To the jury
Judge Thomas holds said sales 10 b.
binding; and after discussing th'
various points raised by the argu.
ments Of counsel, said in substance
"Upon the whole. | conclude tha
the Confederate as well as the Stat
Government Of Virginia at Rich
mond, were, to say the least, durinI
their existence, de facto governments
aud that the contracts of the citizen
and subjects of those governments
who were at the time Of contractin
sui juris, must be enforced by th
means afforded Of the de jure gov
ernment; and when they have bee
executed by such parties accordin
to the laws of the de iacto govern
ment, and the de jure governmcr
that has superseded them will ne
annul them. The jury rendered
verdict for the plaintiffs. We M
dorstand she case will be carried u
to the Court Of Appeals.
