The new Court OF Appeals (Judges Luns-
ford l.. Lewis, Benjamin w. Lacy, Robert
A. Richardson, and T. 7. Fauntlcr0y) viii
meet at 12 O'Clock to-day.
For the fifth seat on the bench there are
two claimants: Judge Edward G. Burks,
elected in 1877 10 succeed Judge Wood
Bouldin, and Hon. Drury A. Hinton.
elected by the last Legislature to succeed
Judge Burks. Between Messrs. B,irks and
Hinton there WIN be . contest which Will

presented by James Alfred Jones, Esq,
Guy a. Gillian, and w. w. Henry, Esq,
and the latter by Mr.. Joseph ;. Budd, OF
Petersburg; Hon. John s. Wise. oil Riei-
mond; and Hon. r. s. Blair. The question
to be decided is whether Judge Burks was
elected for the full term Of twelve years or
for the unexpired term Of Judge Joynes, to
ill the vacancy caused by whose death
Judge Bouldin was elected and served two
and hall years. The court as lately con-
stituted decided that all judges when elected
are elected for full terms. The present
court Is expected to decideto the contrary ;
but Judge Burks's counsel will come before
them heavily armed with authorities.
1t is believed that the Court will not per-
manently organize until the contested
judgeship Is decided.
The Court elects president TO succeed
Judge Moncure; a clerk, which Office Mr..
George Keith Taylor now fills; librarian,
which Office is now filled by Mr.. Nicholas,
and tipstaff, the place now held by X. ID.
Ward, Esq. Similar officers with the ex-
ception OF president) arc to be elected for
the court at Wytheville and StauntOn. III
is understood that they will all be elected
at the session here, as the Court will not
reach those places for some time to come.

THE COMMONWEALTH VS.. THE SUPERINTENDENT
OF THE wATEI-wORXs AND ALDERMAN
COLE.
The case OF the Commonwealth against
James l.. Davis, Superintendent Of the City
Wartcr-W forks, and Alderman W. A. d.
Cole, was called in the Circuit Court yes
terday.
Mr.. A. VI. Kelley, for the defendants,
objected to the notices in the case, on the
ground that reasonable time in which to
answer them had not been given.
Attorney-Geheral Blair held that the pro-
ceeding was not civil one for money, but
a quasi-criminal proceeding against public
officers who had been interested in cor
porate contracts contrary to law, and that
no time was prescribed for notices.
Judge Wexford ruled that Mr.. Keiley's
objection was valid, and refused to docket
the notices; whereupon the Attorney
General stated that he would reissue the
notices, making them returnable on Mon
day the 18th instant, and proceeded to have
them executed on Messrs. Davis and Cole
for that time.

twenty-eight years old, and was married to
Charles Bruet in Sullivan county, Indiana;
that her first husband was named Gibson.
They came to this city about two weeks
| ago from Vincennes, Ind. Upon reaching
Virginia they determined 10 live in Dam
vile, but her husband becoming dissatis-
fed they moved to Richmond, bringing
with them $1,000. After making some
purchases she had 5000 left. The money
was placed in her bureau drawer, which
was kept locked. Wednesday Bruet said
that he was going to Danville and that he
would need about ten dollars. He went 10
the drawer to get the ten dollars, and be-
fore he left he handed her the keys, say
ing that the money was all there.
About four hours after he had gone
she opened the drawer and found
thai every cent had been taken out, ieav-
ing her and her two little children with
only fifteen cents. She also discovered
that he had carried of her gold watch.
The money was in ten, twenty, and fifty
dollar notes. She said she was totally
blind, stranger in the city with neither
friends or relations.
Mrs. Bruet states that the money stolen by
Bruet was the proceeds Of the sale Of her
first husbands effects 1t belonged TO her
and her children, and that Bruet had no
right TO il whatever.
