of plumbers and iegalilies from the morning of
the meeting TO the close of The affair The meet
ing had been warned nt different Place from the
one in which il WIS held and the record itself
bore upon its face, evidence OF gross illegally of
proceeding, if not OF false entry and fraudulent
intent.

porting to give true record OF the proceedings

and bore pretty conclusive evidence of the fact
that Victory was n duly organized town. The
VoIe not 10 organize, Mr. ID. SAID, was counterfeit
ed in It's legal influence, by the subsequent vote 10
organize. For illustration Of this position, Sena.
