Hustings Court.--As has been the case for some days past, the time of Judge Lyons was occupied yesterday in considering habeas corpus cases.

In the matter of William R. Hill, claiming discharge from service in the militia on the ground of being over fifty years of age, the prayer of the petitioner was granted, his claims being fully established.

O. P. Hankins and J. W. Ratcliffe, each claiming discharge from service in the reserve corps of the city on the same ground, were remanded to the custody of their commanders, they having failed to produce proof of the accuracy of their allegations.

The court thereupon adjourned till 10 o'clock this morning.
