JUDICIAL DEcIsloN.-A correspondent Of
the Richmond Dispatch, writing from
Mccklcnburg county, says:
"lAt the late term Of our Circuit Court a
number OF interesting questions were de-
cidcd. Among others, The Judge (Ion. A.
D. D. Dlckin>on) decided that bachelor
living by himself on farm, with a negro
man and his wife in his employment, was Il
householder or head OF family within the
meaning Of the act of Assembly, and cntI-
tied 10 claim Il homestead OF $4,000. The
case will 20 to the Court OF Appeals. An
other important question decided by bis
honor was that the Board of Supervisors OF
county, under the general powers vested
in them, had a right to employ counsel TO
assist the attorney for the Commonwealth III
case in which the county is interested"
TO show how judges differ: i case en-
actly like The one first referred to above was
before Judge Kelley, Of Smyth county, two
years ago Calhoun Us. Williams), and the
Judge held that Calhoun, the bachelor, was
not entitled to homestead exemption. The
case was taken up, and the Supreme Court
last week unanimously affirmed Judge KEEL
ey's decision. That settles the question,
and il Judge Dickinson's bachelor wants to
homestead his creditors he must get mar
ried.- WytheUiue Enterprise.
