the comnaadant, capt. Osorno, col. Max

time refuse to sign bond for duties (but
the necessity of the case only induced me
to pay the duties then demandedj conse.

Mr.. J. c. Smith gave history Of the
fate of a similar bin at the close OF the last

Mr.. Macon moved 70 amend the bill by
limiting the payment Of witnesses TO those
summoned on the part of the Z. States.
Ga this morton a debate arose, which
occupied the remainder Of the sitting: 10
which Messrs Macon and Nicholson sup.
