the ORD Law RESTORED.
Weights and Measures In This CITY VIII
Only be Inspected Every Three Years.


Governor O'Ferrall has signed the bill
passed by the two houses of the General
Assembly repeating the existing law IN
regard to the duties of the sealer OF
weights ami measures for the city OF
Richmond and the old law is again IN
operation. The history of this measure
is quite interesting.
The old law which has been revised as
far as the city OF Richmond is concerned,
provides that the sealers OF Weighs and
measures in this state shall every three
years inspect the scales. weights.
and measures kept In the va
rious stores and places of bust
ness in order to ascertain whether
they are correct. During the session 1851
'g2. Mr. John Jackson. Of this city. in
troduced a bill in the House of Delegates,
which proved that the sealer Of weights
aud measurcrs In Richmond, should make
this inspection annually. The bill became
n law. but proved obJectonapie 10 the
store-keepe~s. etc. who have 10 pay ten
cents for each pair of scales and for each
weight and measure whenever they are
inspected
Another member of the Richmond dele
cation during that session introduced
bill repeating the new law. but for some
reason the bill was hung up on its reg
ular way and did not become law.
At the beginning Of the present session
Col Harwood. OF this city. introduced a
similar bin looking towards the repeal OF
the law lie worked earnest and faithful
Is. and has finally succeeded in having
the hill passed by the House. When n
reached the Senate II was IN due time
reported favorably by the committee.
When IL came up on its passage before the
Senate a strong fight was made against
the measure and il was recommitted.
BY some mistake on the part Of one Of
the clerks of the Senate. the bill was
placed among those that had passed and
were on their way 10 the Governor. II
was enrolled and sent 10 the chief execu-
tive for his approval While i'm the hands
OF Governor O'Ferran. the mistake was
discovered and tho Governor was request
ed 10 suspend action and send the bill
back 10 the Senate. This was done and
another bitter fight ensued in the Senate
committee. but the bin was again report
81 favorably by that body and IL finally
passed the Senate.
col Harwood who has carefully
watched the bill I'm it's various stages and
has worked hard for it's success. has re-
ceived some fifty or sixty letters from
constituents. thanking him FOR the effort
made by him I'm behalf Of the measure.
Since his bill has been pending another
bill has been introduced i'm the House.
which intends TO repeal the old law as
far rs n applies 80 the entire State outside
Of the cities. This bill has also passed
the House and stands a very good chance
Of going through the upper branch with
out any hitch.

NOTTOWIY CIRCUIT COTRr.
The Contested Election Case for Sheriff DE
c.ded ia Favor of Jones, Democrat.

NOTTOWAY COURTHOUSE. VA. Jan.
21- Special.-At a special term of the
Circuit Court held here on yesterday.
Judge Hancock decided the contested cleo
tion Gaze of Dyson et ais VS.. Jones. i'm
favor OF the contestee. affirming the de-
cision of the lower court, rendered in
September last.
This was a coltest for the Office Of
sheriff Of Nottoway county. for four
years, from tho first of July. lS9s. Jones
CDemocraD was returned elected by a
majority of ll6. but Dyson Republican
alleged fraud and brought his contest
in th County Court. The trial lasted
fifteen days. and the County Court. Judge
!. r. West. OF SUSSEX presiding. decided
that tho charges OF fraud had not been
sustained, and that Jones was duly elect
cd and entitled TO the Office.
Tie contestants we're represented By
Mr. W. O. Franklin. OF Appomattox. and
the contestee by Judge W. n Mann and
Mr. James Mann. The decision Of Judge
Hancock ends the matter. as. under tho
laws Of Virginia, the Circuit COart is the
court OF last resort IN such cases.
Judge Hancock handed down his opin-
ION at this term in the case Of the Board
OF Supervisors OF Nottoway against the
Treasurer Of Nottoway and the town OF
Crewe This case involved the consu-
tutionality Of the fifteenth section Of
the charter Of Crewe. which gives the
town the right 10 levy a tax each year
for ten years for the purpose OF improv-
Ing its streets equal 10 the county levy
Of NOttoway for such year and eXempts
the town from any tax for county pup
poses during that time.
The Court was OF opinion that il was
within the power OF the Legislature To
give the town such right. ana that the
section wa therefore. constitutional.
General George \ lIundley and Hon. W.
watson represented the Board of
cuuar,isors. while judge Mann was
counsel Tor he town OF 'rewe. u Is
UNDERSTOOD that this ease will be taken
10 the Court OF Appeals There is now
before the Legislature bill 10 repeal
this provision OF the towns charter.
The Court also decided In favor Of the
defendant upon demurrer TO the decla-
ration in tho care OF Sidney FowIkes adj
ministratrix against the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company.

Mr Isaac Digs. member OF the House

Digs explained the bin in all its details.
Colonel Ayiett finally offered a resolu-
ton lnstructing Mr. Digs to vO-e against
