required soIemnIy and prayerfully to con-
fer together in the whole case, with the
sincere purpose of preventing further pro-

/ Accordingly, at the instance OF MIR. Tap
pan, an interview has taken place between
him and the Session, but neither party
was disposed to confess any wrong -dong

either withdraw the charges, or proceed
with the trial. or agree to joint or sepa-
