of acquittal should be entered. He added,
after some interruption by Senators, that il
there were no objections the clerk would
enter the judgment of acquittal, according
to rule.

proposition of the Chief Justice, suggested
that the rule required a vote to be taken on
each article before judgement could be en-
tered.
