Hanging for Horse Stealing.

To the tdllOf Cl lhe Dl'pdtNh'
Was there ever law in Virginia 10
hang a man for hors"-stealing: IF 50,
please give date when it was repealed?
Yours respectfully,
4 DAILY READER.
on the 18th day of February, 1866. the
General Assembly Of Virginia passed an
act as follows: THAT any person who
shall be guilty Of the larceny OF a horse,
mule. or jackass. shall be punished with
death. or in the discretion OF the jury
by confinement I'm the penitentary for 4
period pot less than five or more than
eighteen years" See session Acts lsS'-O''
page 81.
We have never known anybody who
was convicted under this act sentenced
10 b. hung, but have known a man.
against whom several indictments We're
found sentenced IN each case for so long
n period that the aggregate OF his punish
ment amounted TO ninety-nlne years in
the penitentiary.
This act was repealed on March II. 1875
when the Legislature revised the whole
law in respect to crimes and punlshments
(sce session Acts ls77-'7S. page 270. and
I'm section 10 Of the Acts, on page 49,
enacted: THAT any person who shall be
guilty Of the larceny OF horse, mule, or
ass. shall be punished by confinement in
the penltentiary for a period of not less
than three nor more than eighteen years"
That is now the law.

Planting of Walnut Trees.


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
VIII you kindly answer the following
questions. / believe your answer will
interest many of your readers:
!. The best time and manner OF growing
walnut trees from the seed? When and
how are the seed planted. &c?
2. The best time and manner OF trans
planting forest trees such as naples,
willow. oak. &c, from the woods to lawn
or yard. IL. w. L.
The best time for planting walnuts is
shortly after they have been hulled In the
fall OF the year; although this open.
moist winter has kept from drying those
lying upon the ground, so that they would
be very likely to grow. II put into the
ground at once. about three inches deep

rows about three feet apart and the nuts

Carving Weapons on Ones Premises.

To the Editor OF tne DlspdtCH'
II proof Is adduced that a person has
about his person hid from common OBJ
servatien any pistol. dirk, or other deadly
weapon would the plea that such person
was AT the time he was accused upon his
own premises shield him from the penalty

There is no ambiguity about this Ian
guage 1t makes no exception either as
TO time, place. or occasion. and whatever
may be thought about the reasonableness
OF such a provision. sim, where the Ian
euage Is plain, the courts have no au-
thority TO construe II according TO what
they may suppose the Legislature intend
