says the Internal Revenue Bureau received
information this morning from the office of the
9th District in Virginia, that extensive frauds
in distilling whiskey had been discovered at
Richmond. An effort to seze the establish
ment was unsuccessful, the officers having

Bar was held to-day to receive the report of
the committee appointed last August to inquire
into the circumstances attending the difficulty
between Mr.. Bradley, Senior, and Judge Fish
er, on the conclusion of the Suiratt trial The
report quotes Blackstone's commentaries as to
