REcOLLECTIONS OF THE DAY WHEN
PROPERTY WAS ONLY SEIZED.
Ex.Sherifr Winston Tells an Amusing
Story of n Real Estate Transfer
Forty Years Ago.

Clerk W. p. Lawton, Deputy Walter
Christian, ex-City-Sheriff Phil. Winston.
and Dispatch reporter constituted the
ouartette that met in the Clerks Office OF
the Husting's Court yesterday a little
before dinner-time.
Dir. Winston was telling his experience
of the old-style way of taking possession
OF real estate by seizing" instead Of by
deed as at present.
By this mode, he explained. all that
was necessary to make over piece OF
land was for the grantor to give posses
sion of it to the grantee in the presence
of witnesses. II there was house on
the land the new owner could first enter
alone and fasten the door behind him.
After that he could have all his friends
come.
THE LAST PIECE SEIZED.
"The last piece OF land seized in the
CITY OF Richmond" said Mr.. Winston,
Twas over forty years ago. it was the re-
suit OF lawsuit. Judge Crump was coun-
sci for the successful plaintiff. OF all the
lawyers, court officers. and jurors in the
case we two are now the only ones left.
1.-THE property to be seized" con-
tinued the ex-Sheriff, "was at the cor
ner OF Eighteenth aud Broad streets.
Early one morning we went down to take
possession. Judge Crump was quite q
Young man at that time, and there was
twinkle of mischief in his eye that morn
ing as though he was up to some fun,
so determined to help him out. When
| got down to the place | saw the former
owner Of the place, Mr.. Morris, and told
him what was up. He said Well, l
have lost my case, and it doesn't matter
much anyhow
PULLED THE HoG-wEED.
"The entire crowd being present, l
read the paper ordering the property to
be turned over to Mr.. Tom Taliaferro.
STOPPING down, pulled up an immense
hog-weed about six feet high, and turn
ing to Taliaferro handed it TO him. say
ing at the same time by virtue of this
hog-weed / deliver this property. to You.
1 looked at Mr.. Crump, and he looked
as if he was ready to explode with laugh
ter
"Taliaferro took the immense weed,
which was in full-bloom, on his shoulder
and marched up the street with it. One
OF his friends who met hmm laughed at
him and wanted to know where he was
taking il, and he replied, Never mind,
Mr.. Winston SAYS it is very valuable.
CAREFULLY PREsERvED.
"Some time afterwards" concluded
Mr.. Winston, "Mr. Crump came to me
and asked me wouldn't go by Telia-
ferro's house for fun and see what had
become of the weed. One afternoon |
did go by and pay him a friendly call.
Well, there on the mantelpiece IN a
handsome and expensive vase about SIX
feet tall was that Eog-weed, all wilted,
with the dried flowers still on it really
believe he thought it was proof OF his
possession of the land.
$50 far as / know this was the last
piece of land seized in Richmond. ;"

Mr.. Harrssorh Attending to the Duties of
Eve, Positions at One Time.
A representative of the Dispatch
called at th @ custom-house yesterday after
noon in tlne usual pursuance of his voca-
tion as gatherer of news. At the Dis
trict Attorneys Office he was informed
that Judge Bristow WAS out Of the city ;
bad gone to Norfolk on official business
Mr.. Carter Harrison wasattending to incl
dental business in his absence. Mr. Nj. +.
Pleas ants. clerk of the Circuit Court OF
che United States. was away. A card on
his door informed the public that Mr..
Carter Harrison would see and attend to
any business arising. Mr.. Harrison Is
himself United States commissioner,
and also the chief special agent OF the
Government in this city for the collec-
ton OF manufacturing statistics.
in addition to the duties of these Off
GERS he has recently been assisting Depu-
ty-Msrsha Ballard in the appointment
end qualification of the deputy United
States marshals. In view of the above 1t
seems that Mr.. Harrison has his hands
full OF the official business il the United
States can fill them. The duties of five
Offices are calculated to keep an ordi-
nary man busy, though Mr.. Harri-
son seems to be bearing up surprisingly
well under the strain.
Judge Bristow and Mr.. Peasants are
IN Norfolk, presumably in connection
with Congressman neutrality-suspicious.
70 contest the district before the next
House Of Representative, which was re-
marked by prominent United States
official on yesterday to be I'D
hopeless undertaking under the circum-
afaneaa
