Hustings Court, Feb. 17th

--Hon. Wm. H. Lyons, Judge, presiding.--Sundry accounts of executors and others were referred to commissioners for settlement. Jacob B. Keesee qualified as administrator of James W. Goff, deceased. The will of Julia A. Peyton was proved, and W. Goddin qualified as administrator.

The trial of Harvey Wash, indicted for felony, was, on his motion, laid over until the next term, whereupon he entered into a bond of $3,000, with John P. Sledd, surety, conditioned for his appearance. The trial of the same party, in two other cases pending against him, was postponed by order of the court.

In the matter of the writ of habeas corpus, awarded on the petition of Edward S. Gentry, ordered by the Judge that further proceedings on the said writ be postponed until the next term of the court. Gentry gave bail for his appearance at that time.

An attachment was issued against James B. Mason, a witness for the State in the case against James. P. Neagle, charged with felony. He did not answer when called.
