iect, with a view to ascertain the amount Of
Mr.. Riches reputed losses. but have re-
lied solely on his ca parfe statement, as the
reason for the opinion heretofore expressed

The proposition of Mr.. Towers, we con-

we are inclined to think there is some mis-

positively Refused to allow his name to go
