it appeared that the number of applicants for casua t relief

The chairman read a letter from Major James, Adair,

petitioner had acted as collector and visitor for t he hos-

to him. Subsequent to his resignation he h: ld been
guilty of some irregularities in a situation of tra ft which
he held in another instiiution, and his death was inserted
in the newspapers. It appeared, however, that the au'

evade responsibility, for after having kept out of the way
for some years, he now came forward to ask fen a conti-
nuance of the pension which had been voted to,l,tice, and
the arrears due it it was decided that he was en itled to
it. After a brief conversation the petition was r eferred
to the relief committee, accompanied by a requs st that
they would investigate the circumstances of the elf se, and
report thereon to the next general court. Thor, a being
no other business before the court, the proceedir ,:;s then
