The gross amount received in Premiums

The Life, Fire, and Guarantee Claims paid

At the opening of the Surratt trial, on Thursday,
Mr. Merrick, one of the prisoner's counsel, submit-
ted a motion that Carroll Hobart, Charles 11. Blin,
and Joseph M. Dye, witnesses for the prosecution,
might be recalled, for the purpse of cross-examin=
ation on other points which had come to the know-
ledge Of the debnee since the other examination
closed. District Attorney Carrington objected,
and a long discussion ens led, which was ended by
the decision of Judge Fisher that no motion ought
to be made unless founded on an affidavit which the
court could inspect. The point which the defence
stated that they expected to prove by the re-exami-
nation of the witnesses was a discrepancy in dates,
and that the two men whom Conductor Hobart
said that he carried on his train from Essex Junc-
tion to St. Albans, Vt., on Tuesday, April 18,1865,
were really there ou Friday, April 21. One of these.
men is supposed to have been Surratt, though the
conductor could not positively identify him as his
passenger, and the defence proposed to show that ,
when the facts were fresh in his mind, and within a
fortnight after the occurrence, Mr. HObart stated
that the two men travelled with Lim on Tuesday,

The progress-of the Society's Premium Revenue con-
tinues satisfactory, it having now reached, in 1866, the
