For the first three years, after the confirmation
of my appointment, TO wit: in 1907, 1903, 1909,

have no recollection that, before the act passed,
IN the session of 1918, was ever out of Richmond
for month at time, unless owing TO circumstan-
ces. over which, had no control; and to some OF
which, have Just advered.
This much 1 know, that l was, with much
good faith, resident OF Richmond, until the act
passed, in the session Of 1913, as have been ever
. since of this place.
In 1918, rented small house near Mr.. Longs,
which was sufficient for all my purposes, as Mrs.
Taylor could not, on account of her health, re-
turn to Richmond; and having no occasion for two
servant women, sent one that had family, either
before, about this time, to NEEpHAM The
other remained until the spring after the passed,

constitution, could not, be sent to The House o.
