Judge Scott carefully viewed the
proposed lines of old and new terri
tory. not only riding but walking over
and around them. and at the trial
seemed to be more familiar with the
different houses and streets than
many of the residents testifying.
Numerous witnesses for and against

the Town Council of Chase City, who
was represented by Thomas d. JEFF
fress. OF Chase City. and Joseph
Stebbins, Jr,. of South Boston, and the
antis by Il. w. Hudgins, of Chase
