fixing the SUN at &l63 "A
Mr.. Chittenden stated that the reward
800, was offered by the advice of the
States Attorney, and at a time when Mr.
Allen had ecome fully convinced that his
goods could not be recovered. The reward
was also offered simply for the purpose OF
making arrest. IL .4ij that justice anu
'quity, both to the State and MIR. Allen,
dem handed the payment of the full amount.
Mr.. Pierpolnt said Mr.. Allen hal not
gained anything whatever from the arrest,
aud he thought that Mr.. Allen should be
paid t. the amount of the reward as well
as his own expenses. Ii anything was te
BE- cut of from the bill, he thought that
most certainly it was improper and unjust
to cut of that portion expended. by which
the arrest was accomplished and the only
good effected.
