County Court. --In the County Court of Henrico yesterday, an application was made by John M. Botts to be exonerated from a tax on his horse "Engineer," upon the ground that the tax is unconstitutional. The case was argued by A. J. Crane and Jno. B. Young, Esqs., and the Court refused to grant the application. An appeal was taken, and the question will be submitted to the Circuit Court. An application was made for bail for Bennett and Melton, charged with the murder of James Page, a free negro. The case was briefly argued by Mr. Courtney for the prisoners, and Mr. Young for the Common wealth, and the Court finally bailed them in $500 each for their appearance at the Circuit Court.
