The CIRCUIT COMMONWEALTH OF
VIRGINIA vs.. GENERAL B. 7. JOHNSON
General johnson having denurred to the
bill because the Board OF Public Works are
not made parties, and pleaded specially
that the Commonwealth had never author
lied the suit to be brought, both in order
that lie might be protected in the future
against further suits, Judge Wexford yes
terday morning announced 1t as his opinion
that the Board OF Public Works was neither
q necessary nor proper party. AS to the
plea that the Commonwealth had never ALL
thoriZed the suit to be brought, he held that
the question could not be determined upon
the plea. For il it was true, then the Com
monweath was not before the Court: she
could not reply TO the plea, and he could
enter no Judgment against Eer. lie said
that the question was most grave and seri-
Gus one, and one which went 10 the foun-
daton OF the whole proceeding; but that
he could not determine 1t until it was pre-
sented duly in The course OF pleading, and
he thought this could not be done until the
cause came on fol- tina! hearing. He there
fore sustained the motion to reject the plea.
An order was accordingly entered overrul.
ing the demurrer and rejecting the plea. but
giving the defendant leave to amend his ar
swcr and incorporate the plea in it, and
General johnson, by his counsel, Mr.. Roy
| all, renewing his motion to have the Tina
| hearing OF the cause fixed for some carly day,
| the Attorney General stated that he thought
| he was able to assure the other side that be
