NOTE.
Under this heSd the committee says:
After making and signing the foregoing
report, the committee appointed Hon.
E. A. James and Hon. J. +. Brown as a
subcommittee to prosecute the inyesti-
cation further, hoping that the commit
tee might thereby reach more definite
and satisfactory conclusion than the
above report, and though they remained

cation for some time, they were unable
to develop any new facts. They in
formed me that they said James and
Brown procured q chancellor to take
and state an account with said Watson
as trustee, and that they also procured
chancellor to discontinue the salary and
expenses of the trustee. The foregoing
report has been withheld until this time
with the expectation that the COM
mittee could avail itself Of facts de-
velOped, and statements made by the
clerk and master or commissioner in
settling with Mr.. Watson, but the COM
mittee are informed that no report has
been made by the commissioner, and
that il is uncertain when it will be
made. a majority of the committee
have directed me to file this report at
once, with this explanatory note.
