Acquitted.
--A hearing was had yesterday before Judge Lyons, sitting in term, on the merits of an application for release on a writ of habeas corpus, sued out by Mrs. Mary Ann Piggott and her family, residents of Charles City county, arrested a few weeks since on the charge of disloyalty, by order of Gen. Henry A. Wise.
The parties were said to have entertained Yankees at their house while those vandals had possession of the country in and around their residence.
Nothing but inferential evidence was offered in support of the allegation, while a great deal of proof was accumulated, from most respectable parties, that Mrs. Piggett and her family were true citizens of the Confederacy both in word and deed.
Mr. Aylett appeared for the Government; Messrs. Nance and Williams for the defendants.
The Judge discharged all of the parties.
