integrity; and when all the facts Of the case
shall be lsid before you, am sure You and your

beyoLd their true value is very injurious TO the
underwriters on boats and cergoes In this case
the interest Of Capt. Neal was clearly TO convert
this boat into total loss, and yet bis whole con-
duct has been as If there were no insurance on
his boat. which deserves the highest cOmmenda-
ton. ST. Louis Democrat 18th.
