se to give a brief synopsis of it: At the last meeting of the Legislature a law was passed ordering the Board of Public Works to impress the property of Charles Scott & Co., in Smythe and Washington counties, for the purpose of procuring salt for the citizens of Virginia at a reduced rate. The plaintiffs considered the law unconstitutional, and procured an injunction to " restrain the defendant (Clarkson) or his agents and servants from impressing, or in any way interfering with the property of the plaintiffs," Upon motion to dissolve the said injunction the cause came up before his Honor Judge Meredith yesterday morning, and was argued by John Randolph Tucker, Esq, for defendants, during the forenoon, and by John W. Johnston, Esq., of Abingdon, for plaintiffs, during the afternoon. The Court will sit again this afternoon, when John B. Baldwin, of Augusta county, will conclude the argument on the same side, to be followed by Mr. Tucker on Wednesday, who makes the closing argument.
