of the table designed for their special accommodation
but which, too o'en profane and rreverent outsiders

of T.! iightfu claimants thereto. But Judge Davies

the proceedings still occupied bis seat on the Bench in

who, in defiance Of etiquette in such made

circle OF fashion and perhaps to watch the admnstra-

TO the hearts and homes of woman. At all events they
were there, waiting patiently and many supposed them

he bad no partner in bis law business, which fast rem
deIed il impossible that his partner could have been
applied to by Dean, a. stated IN his petition. Mr.
