he had stood behind the counter in the Of

would nave been no question Of his guilt
raised, and the Court considered that the

cision was rendered, defendants counsel
moved that the amour OF bail be fixed,
and commended that a small sum, say two

fcient. Mr.. Hall McAllister opposed
this, and demanded that the amount
should not be less than twenty thousand
dollars, at which sum II was liked, after a
great deal Of discussion.
