the case, and cited several authorities tc
gustain their position. Mr.. Courtney held
that the writ said the woman was not enti-
tied to the children because she was not 9
proper person to raise them. The petition
also states that they are llegiimate chill
dren, and therefore it deyolves upon Mr.,
Ferguson to show who is entitled to their
custody. There is no doubt SIS to who is
the mother of the children, and she should
by right have them in charge.
Mr.. Guigon held that she was not entitled
to them, !" and the question for your Honor
to decide is, whether these unfortunate little
ones shall remain in the hands Of disrepu-
table parties and be brought up in baw-
dy-house. or have them returned to the
custody of the respectable family from
whom they had been unlawfully taken"
The Judge said this was very important
case, and he would take until to-dayto rem
der his decision. The counsel could name
any hour that would suit them, and it would
suit him. The children would, however,
remain in the custody Of the sergeant until
he rendered his decision. The counsel then
agreed to be in attendance at O'Clock this
afternoon to receive the decision.
Ida then went into the sergeant's office,
where the children were, and said she
would not let her children leave her sight,
and she defed any one to lay their hands
upon them. She was reasoned with, but
she refused to hear anything they had to
say, and finally had to be seized by Deputy
sergeants Anderson and August and put in
q hack and carried to jail. Her children
we're screaming for their mother to be let
alone and allowed to go home with them,
but the poor little things were soon put in
the carriage, and the party driven to the
jail, where they will remain until this eve
ming.

RICHMOND, December 80, 1858.
" To the Honorable Metnbera Of
!" Council Of ite city of Richmond :
eve, The undersigned, dealers in anthra.
elite coal, wonld respectfully suggest that
there Is want of conformity in the delivery
OF wEat constitutes load Of coal, as soma
OF our coat dealers adhere to the ordinance
giving twenty-five bushels, which weigh hut
]. $50 pounds, whilst others weigh their loads
giving 2,cno pounds to the load As the gene.
raj impression amongst consumers is that
twenty-five bushels of coal weigh 1000
pounds. there is manifest injustice in so far
rs they receive hut l.750 pounds, which could
be readily remedied by SO amending the ordi
nance MS to require anthracite coal to be sold
by weight, instead of measure making the
load 1000 pounds, and attaching such pena alty
MS to insure uniform compliance With
" Presuming, as this Is matter of general
interest to your constituency, our suggestion
will receive due consideration, we are very
respectfully yours, etc.,
