denial Except In two instances which | shall re-
fer TO further on, he attempts to distract atten-

point except upon the probabilites. | could
neither positively af1n nor post lively deny tho
success Of his search because, fortunately, did

genius To conceive and the skill to execute Ct

As to the fifth charge, Stanley says In his ic,4

"Tho young rasc i set mr. 10 valuable grove" anI
punished the young william with few strokes Of
