was discharged and all the balance re-
tanned for the. balance Of tho term.
The above action we consider unjust to the

not necessary to carry on said court
firmly believing that by proper attention
| several hundred dollars could be saved,
and we therefore decline to allow the sum
OF 1874 80 for services set forth in the

Said bonds were in the hands OF special
trustees, who were authorized and in.
