Then to the testimony of John Butler, he testi-
fies that he seen Henry frequently-that Henry was
Il constant driver of a carriage from particular
street named by him, and that he often met him at
d blacksmiths shop in Centre street. One of these
witnesses testifes that Henry waiter in ho-
tel IN New York. Another one that he saw Henry
with his walters garb and dress on board the Van
derbilt-all in the year 1913.
1t these things actually occurred in 1S4S, it would
be an easy matter for Henry to inform his counsel
where lived the of this coach lie drove long
where was the Hotel in which he waited, and who
was the Captain of the Vanderbilt in 1848 for whom
he served; they would all have been here.
This omission goes far to show that there may
have been mistake as to the precise time when
Henry was first seen in New York, and an honest
mistake too. IL

Are there two Henry Longs? have heard of no

They would all rush to the Courtroom and tell us
that this is the Henry Long of New York, and
a freeman.

lance
These considerations lead the Court to the inevta
BILE conclusion that there is real contradiction
arising out of the evidence of the and that the
two great questions of fact involved in the controver

in law.
The consequence is, that certificate in conformi

Adams made the following entry in his diary. He
was then practicing law in Boston, though living
in Braintree:
1T has been my fate to be acquainted in the way of
business with number of very rich men-Gardin-

Hooper, Doane. Hooper, Gardiner, Rowe Lee and
Doane, have all acquired their wealth by their own
industry Bowdoin and Hancock received theirs by
succession, descent devise; Pitts by marriage

colored companions in the carriage. Both of these
males in the possession Of their master and
one of them insisted upon returning after his master
