Iaode rator could hear the nomination, tho every

the noble moderator consent 10 put capt. JohnsOns
name at the end Of the nomination. On the succee-
ding evening Capt. j. informed the noble Colonel
Thumb that he should not consent to make any such
certificate as required. Next morning Capt j. re-
ceiyed letter from the sheriff requiring him tore
