PETERSBURG, VA. December s.-The Cir
emit Court of this city. Judge b. A. han
cock. met this morning promptly az III
o'clock and resumed the trial OF the con-
non cases. And here it may be stated Una.
the trial OF these cases under the act OF
Assembly recurring q separate jury for
each case has served not only 70 greatly
increase the business of the court ana It's
officers. but 10 largely increase the cou-
non business by advertising to. the puolc
The easy manner IN which thelr taxes eau I,
be paid. This fact has been aoundaDty
shown by the regular increase IN tne
amount of taxes paid III coupons
NC the new law went into
effect and as consequence the
increase of expense TO the city IN the
larger number OF jurors required 10 ry
the eases. For instance, when the nrsG
TRAILS under the new law took place ONLY
Gao or zoo Jurors were summoned. ms
number has increased with each success
slye term of the court, until at the present
term fully 1900 jurors are required auu ~
is noticed that many persons who never
before maid their taxes IN coupons have
now taken advantage of that privilege,
and il Is evident that the intention OF the
trainers of That iniauitous law TO punish
the communities which dared 70 pay
taxes in coupons by imposing upon them
all of the expenses Of the suits ana triais
has utterly failed Of effect.
AN IMPORTANT POINT RAISED AND ovERRUIED'
When the case of David Dunlop was
called this morning. Mr.. j. Nj. Mullen.
the Commonwealth Attorney OF the city,
moved the Court to allow him 10 me
written opinion in this case. certifying
that the interest of the commonwealth
would not be prejudced by permitting tho
same Jury which tried the preceding case
TO tfy this also. In support OF his motion
he commended: First. that the act autho-
rlzing the Board of Slnking-fund Com
missioners to employ other counsel than
the Attorney for the Commonwealth 10
control the management of these cases IS
unconstitutional and void; second, that
being a constitutional officer 1t Is his duty
to appear on behalf OF the Commonwealth
in all cases arising in Petersburg in when
the State is q part, and no act OF the
Legislature could limit his authority; ana
third. that considering the act IN question
TO be constitutional. still he as the Attor-
