the Judge made the following decision !
The CoURT. This witness has testified on his cross
examination that his first object IN going TO Alexandra
was 10 pay his respects Mr. Sacum and that his second
object was, on account OF the misusl be had on his
mind in consequence OF the suggestions OF Mr. Huici
