AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
Thirty Thousand Acres of Land are In
VOWED.

Lynchburs News
Mr. j. Randolph Henry has returned
from Haniscnburg, where he attended
the session Of the United States Court now
being held there. The purpose of Mr.
HenTy's trip to Harrisonburg was to assist
in the preparation of the papers in the
suit of King vs. Justus and others, which
has been appealed to the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals. This is a ease
Of much interest and considerable impor-
tance, and involves about thirty thousand
acres Of land IN Buchanan county, includ-
ing mineral lands Of great value
The tract of land involved in the Nir-
ginia suit is small as compared with the
biz body of land which King sued to or
tain possession of in West Virginia. The
whole tract including the West Virginia
and Virginia lands amounted TO $4,000
acres, and on it is situated several towns
and villages. In the West Virginia suit,
the defendants won their case in all Of the
courts; but it is said that the law applying
to snch matters in West Virginia is differ
ent in some respects from that in the State
of Virginia, and this may possibly account
for the difference in the action of the
courts of the two States; for in the suit in
the United States Court in Virginia, the
plaintiff won his case, and it is being APP
pealed by the defendants to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
1t seems that the land involved in the
suit was given by grant to Robert Morris
by the Commonwealth of Virginia in
1894, and the rights of his descendants
were recently conveyed to Henry G. King
by number of trustees, and suit was inn
mediatey brought by King against the
persons having possession Of the land. The
purchase by King from the trustees was
made about ten years ago.
King is represented in the trial Of the
suits by NJ. L. Stiles, of Boston, and F. /.
Flounoy, Of Charleston, w. Va. The de-
PENDANTS, of whom there are about sixty, |
are represented by Major R. r. Henry, Of
Tazewell; W. f. Burns, Of Lebanon; u. T.
Vinson, of Huntington, w. Va; NJ. g.
Belknap, of Philadelphia; ]. A. Sheppard,
Of Huntington, w. Va; and J. Il. Henry,
