rules restricting the court to lime, 60 that
they could have full session.
Col, Reuben Williams, 18th Indiana Volun-
teers, one Of the members Of the court, has
been relieved from duty on the commission,
in accordance with previous orders he recciv-
ed from The Department, to repair to Lis
regiment at the front. Col. Chas D. Murray,

morose and taciturn, but that they have lost
