THE COUR rs.

CIRCUIT CoUnr.-The special term of the Cir
cult Court, commenced Monday, Judge Nc
Laughlin presiding.
The important case of Richardson and wife
and Others against McChesney & Nadenboush
involving the title to three ifths of the Ameri
can hotel was deliberately argued by Thos ].
Niche, and Hugh W Shelley, for the plaintiffs,
and Col ]. B Baldwin for the defendants The
court took the case under ADJUSTMENT until the
next regular term. Several other cases were
disposed of, the most important of which was
the case Of McCue Us McCue In 1862 Jno. Nc
Cue Esq di,d leaving splendid landed estate
near FishersvIle in this county In 1863 his
widow, Mrs. Ellen s. McCue, filed bill in the
circuit court Of Augusta, against the admins
traitors and heirs at law of her deceased husband
Two of the heirs-Alexander H. Nc Jue and
Henry NJ McCue were then and still are infants
Sue asked for an assignment of dover, in kind,
or for the sale OF the land and Communication of
d wer in money and for the settlement of the
personal estate. At the June term 1863, de.
cree WAS entered assigning the widow her dow
err, in kind, and directing a sale Of the residue
of the land. At the sale Col David S. Bell be-
came the purchaser of le9 acres, and Moses Zir-
kle of 4ls acres. The purchase money was paid
in Confederate money and persisted with the
Confederacy.
In 1871 Alex. H. McCue and Henry NJ Nc
Cue the infant heirs, by their next friend, filed
bill of review, asking to reverse and annul,
I he IF ca for cd 10
of their lands. 1t was insisted that if the bill
was to be treated as a bill of the guardi-
an, asking sale Of infants' lands, the require
ments of the statutes had not been complied
with. fit was to be treated as bill for parti-
ton, the plaintiff had 10 right to maintain such
a bill, as to the heirs The case was argued BY
Geo. NJ. Cochran Jr for the plaintiffs in the bill
of review, and JAS. Bumgardner Jr. for the de-
PENDANTS. On yesterday Judge Mclaughlin de-
cided that the decree of June 1868 must be le-
versed and annulled, SO far as it undertook to
dispose of the interest of the infant heirs, and
directed partition Of the lands, and an assign
ment to them Of their interest therein. By that
decree the infant heirs will each get about 60
acres of land worth from 500 to $40 per acre,
and the rents thereon since 1868.
The court adjourned estelday evening for the
term

TURNPIKE OFFERED TO AUGUSTA The ques-
ton of whether August ia shall own Is miles, or
the whole of the junction Valley Turn pike run
ming go miles from Stanton, through Rock
bridge to Buchanan in Botetourt, is about to be
laid before the Board of Super visors. The legis-
lature last month passed act direc ting the
Board of Public works to submit the question
to The Boards of Sup ervisors of Augusta, Rock
bridge and Boteto urt, whe Their they will take
possession of the road, pay its indebtedn ess and
collect legal tolls on it. The bill provides tina
should any county refuse to take its share of the
road THAT portion within its linits) tho remain
ing counties county may take it. The in
debtedness Of the road as stated by Mr.. J. A..
N. Lusk, the Superintendent, is 1926 due him,
$3.50 due the heirs of the Mr.. Wallace deceased,
late Superin endent, and about $500 due par

$1,000 That portion of the road lying in b.
tetout, ABOUT seven miles, was TUNED over by
the Board of Public Works, to the Supervisors
of fiat county, about two years ago, leaving So

county will be, and it is stated there is some OBJ
lection among them 10 taking the road. The
Supervisors of Augusta meet on the 18th inst,
and the question will then be before them. The
Supervisors must accept the benefit of the act
within three months from March 9Th, or its pro-
visions void. Against the debt OF the road
there are available assets nsisting in part of
toll house worth $500 just beyond the edge of
town, which are to be sold TO pay the debt and
the deficit is to be borne proportionately by the
tion raad
