trial, it is however in this -work designed to ref
cucjwhat can be colle&cd theieof from sources
of indifputaple authority, f 0 that the fame lhall
be preserved from oblivion.
Another impeachment and the second is now
depending. An officer is charged by the late
Honfe of Reprcfentatives, who hath for many
years been largely confided in by this state, and
filth Jong b en at the head of the financial de
panmeni of the fame, and it imports the citi
zens to know his condu£t, and thecircum{laflees
which may be brought foiward on his trial.
