me Legislature We're to assemble in November, and
would probably not adjourn till January The respon-
dent ten addressed memorial TO the Governor OF that
State stating the circumstances of the case and the
materially OF the testimony OF The witnesses Who
members OF the Legislatures and he asked tho Cavern
or 10 convese the Legislature earlier than the usual pe
ROD in order that these members might in good time
be enabled 20 perform the double duty of tors and
witnesses The Governor declined compliance with
this request The respondent addressed a second me
mortal TO the Governor and received second refusal
As the only alternative left him, he then p ocured their
dispositions. Mr. Lawless present when they were
taken before dye OF the state of Missouri, aud
enjoyed the privilege of crosse " mining them The
depohons were now In the possession of the Secretary
OF this honorable The counsel for the respon-
dent as far as depended them, were ready to pro-
coed 10 the trial ii the managers on the part OF the
House would consent that those DISPOSITIONS should be
received and read evidence Mr.. Meredith cited
precedent TO show that this COURSE with the of
ooth partes, could be pursued the managers would
not agree to let the dispositions be evidence he
should then have another motion make which il ouId
be time enough to mention after their decision should be
ascertained.
Mr.. Spencer considered the excuse Of the respon
oen Tor the non-aendance of the witnesses in question
as unsatisfactory Their duty wne in this court
was paramount TO their duty members of the !egsla
ture OF Missouri. Waving this objection however tho
managers on the part of the House, would say TO the
counse Tor the respondent that they would give them
an opportunity 10 examine the dispositions, they would
then decide whether they could be received and read
evidence; and II they could be received, the mana
gers should be willing 10 dispense with the personal
tendance OF The witnesses required the production
oil no precedent to decide whether, with the of
5 evidence
That was matter of course.
The counsel for the respondent assented to tho pro-
position OF the managers
| Mr.. Meredith said, he had been mistaken: The DO
positions still In the hands of the Judge before
whom they were taken, and who was here witness
Judge Carr was then called and sworn. He testified
mat the deposions which he had Just handed the
secretary had been taken before him, Judge Of the
third judicial circuit of Missouri Both partie, were
present when they were taken. He had then sealed
them up, and they had been in his possession until this
time.
Mr. Meredith said, that the counsel for the respon.
dent would want copies OF Two of the dispositions
Mr. Spencer suggested that if copies of the deposi-
tons wore 10 be taken, would probably be necessary
TO adjourn the Court till Monday next.
The Secretary ordered 10 furnish comics of the
dispositions 10 both parties
