was making was 70 set aside the order directing the
case TO stand over, TO fix the amounJ OF the extra
allowance; and 1t would have been absurd for me to
say Tat an extra allowance had been made. What
did say was just as pertinent and relevant on that
occasion the gentleman's remarks yesterday were
tmpertinent and irrelevant here. fSensation) Now,
