Alderman THOMAS WOOD, upon hearing the pa•-rticble
lars, decided upon granting the authentication of t e
City seal, which, although it might not be within the
requisites of the statute, still might afford facilities in be
proceedings in a foreign court for the recovery ditty
money. He stated that he eonsidered it to be the niVe
of the magistrate to do everything in his power to gio
efficacy to the excellent object of the new law, which /1
calculated to interfere most vigorously with the Prs4"
tices of fraudulent debtors.

The City seal was accordingly affixed.
