Mr. Yardley—l do not coneder it as any disrespect, but
I tell you candidly %Mit I was glad of the opportunity of
disehargies the or-donee, and having the thing. cleared from
the court. The makon's non-attendance relieved me from
a great difficulty. If I had convicted the privom I should
have had to incur the responsibility of sending her to prison,
into which she might have taken the smallpox.
Mr. Tabbe--We only wanted a remand in order that the
aurae might have been brought up.
Mr. Yardley—l should them hare bees in an equal fix, for
