lance of the polio. until Saturday lan. He now refused to

same general features. After two of these bad been heard,
Mr. Henry said—This is a most serious came, and one
which roust be prosecuted with prokesiosal meistanoe. I
do not require it bare, but it is desirable, in order that the

that in the interval Voareathe next examination a repre-
sentation should be made to the authorities, in order that it
may be taken up by the solicitor of the Treasury, so
that the whole proceedings may be under one direction.

and he may have been induced to think while in that slat;
that he was enlisted and entitled to wear the clothes. _
