that it was contemplated. But when those difficult

bound sustain the prcteusinns of this that party
he certainly at liberty defend the preesions OF
either. The Committee will go further they will say
that in taking the defence, if it may be called, IF the
interests Of Mrs. Sore he in 20 manner intereed with
the interests Of her minor brother, sole collcr, who
being a" idiot by nature, is hut the nominal proprietor
of his share in tie succession OF their father and mother

move the adoption of tn following resolutions.
Resolved that the high character and standing which
Mr. Bowen has heretofore enjoyed as a member of Ill,
Louisiana Bar, remain in our opinion unimpaired.
Resolved that the Secretary transmit copv of thes
