Baker vs. Wise, Governor, &c.
--This case, which has been pending for some time before the Supreme Court of Appeals, was finally disposed of on yesterday.
It arose upon the question whether the law of Virginia, requiring an inspection of vessels owned in whole or in part by non-residents, and bound to any Northern port, was in conflict with the Bill of Rights of Virginia, or the Constitution of the United States.
The Court held that the law did not conflict with either, and was in all respects constitutional and valid.
Judge Daniel delivered an able and learned opinion, and Judges Moncure, Lee and Robertson concurred.
Allen, President, dissented.
The cause was argued sometime ago, by Tazewell Taylor, Esq., of Norfolk, Judge William W. Crump, of Richmond, and --Johnson, Esq., of Boston, for the appellant; and by the Attorney General for the appellee.
Judgment affirmed.
