Coupon Cases.

In view OF the fact that coupon eases are
very numerOusly brought in Richmond,
and that our Commemorative attorney has
his hands full Of criminal business, the
General Assembly. at its recent session,
passed a resolution authorizing the Board
of Public Works 10 employ special counsel
to aid the Commonwealth attorney in de-
Tending coupon suits, and $500 was appro-
priated therefor.
The Board has taken no action under
this authority, though it has had plenty OF
meetings.
Mr.. Witt recommended for appointment
MIR. Wyndham X. Meredith, and Mr.. Mere
dith was notified to prepare himself to en-
ter upon these duties, but he has not yet
received his commission. Meanwhile the
interests Of the Commonwealth may posi-
bly, suffer.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Witt, having to
be absent from Richmond, Mr.. Meredith,
at Mr.. Wits request, appeared before
United >tates Commissioner Peasants in
tic case Of p. T. Moore. Mr.. Moore, who
has never been actually confined in Jail, or,
IL so, only for few hours, was by MI.
Pleasants admitted to bail in the sum OF
81, 900, Mr.. Royal surety, to answer the
hdbeaS corpus proceedings taken before
Judge Bond in accused's behalf.
In this hGbeaS-cOrpuS case Mr.. Royal Is
attacking the constitutionality OF the act
of Assembly commonly known As "Cou-
pon-C rippler No. l." That act provides
that every application for license shall be
accompanied with the money; that other
wise the license shall not be issued-Mr.
Moore offered to pay in coupons.
Judge Bond will hear the case here on
the oath.
Mr.. Royal will ask that Moore be dis
charged from custody.
