Court on the 23d inst and that the Magistrates refused to acknowledge the Authority of Maj. Gen Terry in the "Adams Horse Case" and decided to go on with the trial. The trials were, however, postponed until next Court in consequence of the absence of witnesses. The horse is I believe, still in the hands of Connor. Very Respectfully Your Obt Servt Hiram L Hunt Lieut and Asst Supt 8th Dist Va.
