Richmond Circuit Court, January 25th, 1865. --Judge John A. Meredith. The matter of petitions for writs of habeas corpus of Robert B. Somerville, Samuel M. Drinker, Charles Lumsden and Peyton G. Bayley came on this day to be heard, they seeking discharge from service in Colonel J. B. Danforth's regiment, second-class militia, under joint resolution of the Virginia Legislature, as being over fifty years of age; and it being proven to the satisfaction of the court that they were over said age, they were discharged from service and bailed until the 4th of February to await the decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of William H. Redwood. Upon the prayer of James Pearce, asking discharge under same circumstances, a writ was awarded, returnable this morning at 11 o'clock. After transacting some chancery business, the court adjourned until this morning at 11 o'clock.
