urcaed for and the resolutions and the charges specified
in the preamble we're unjust as tending to preuiye the
conduct Of that officer and influence to his prejudice the
minds Of any committee that lnshtbe appomLedto n7es
tigate the matter.

aed-that certain public officer who now enjoying

salary but also the proceeds OF bis official action as Cor
