RICHMOND, March l4-By the adoption
of joint resolution to adjourn sine die next
Wednesday, it is hardly probable that the
case of Judge Meade will be decided.
The committee will meet this evening to

tonight.
Messrs. Grattan, A. B. Evans and Kilgore,
members of the committee said, to-day that
the record has not been printed 10 full, and
before they will present Il report they will
have TO read all the record.
IF the House consumes half the time cou-
sdcring this case that it has consumed in
considering similar cases the matter will
not be decided this session.
Speaker Stuart does not think that the
case will reach fnality.
