to find that it had been priced open. Al
thorgh the intense heat prevented bis

to conceal the work of the thieves. The
house had contained the meat from fouE
hogs, and after the light frame WORK mao

and is smoothe and dark from long us'
and age, hundreds of thousands of dollar
having passed through it.

The Mvers Case.

The case of Jno. Myers vs.. the Com
mOnwealth upon petition to discharge
him from imprisonment on the ground
that four terms of the county court had
passed without a trial OF the indictment
under which be was held, was heard by
Judge r. II Turner at Front Royal, on
Tuesday, 90 inst Commonwealth's Atty.
J. c. Baker, appeared for the Common
wealth and Messrs. Conrad and Alexander
represented the prisoner After hearing
argument the court refused to discharge
prisoner and remanded him to Jail for
trial. The point decided was that the
October term of the county court, being
the first term of that court held after the
last new trial was awarded by the circuit
court, was the first term at which the
prisoner was held for trial and that term
conld not be counted as one of the four
terms emitting the prisoner TO discharge
and that in TACT only three terms of that
court had passed and the prisoner was not
illegally detained in custody.
Up to going to press the counsel fol
prisoner had not notified the county clerk
whether the case would now be carried tC
the Court of Appeals or would be tried 81
the next term of the county court.
