He then applied for a writ of habeas corpusbefore Judge Meredith, of this city. It was agreed by the counsel of Brooking, (John H. Gilmer, Esq.,) and the counsel for the Confederate States Government,(Messrs. T. Neeson and T. P. August,) that the merits of the case should be considered and decided on an argument for the application. The argument on the application was then heard fully on all the legal points, and the learned Judge awarded the writ, and yesterday, in Court, discharged Brooking from the service.

The case turned on the judicial construction of the conscript act of 1862, March 16,as to exemptions, and the act of the Virginia Legislature passed in October, 1862,which expressly exempted Justices of the Peace from military service.
