several of the attorneys engaged in the fight rela-
tive to the property of Senator Broderick met at

small tin box, about ten inches long. six inches

c. Blake, County Judge. who proceeded to open
the box in the presence of the other gentlemen.
The box was found to confirm the fragments Of a
geld watch, supposed to be the struck by a
bullet from the pistol of J Caleb Smith, in a duel
with that gentleman in lS5l. Two heavy gold
watch chains, and string Of cornelian or pink
