In your editorial referred to you verv
properly say In the first place, why
is it that there have been 80 many
difficulties and SO mneh delay in the
matter of the making of inventories a
the property seized ? This should be-
very simple proceeding, and we see
no special difficulties in this instance
to excuse or explain the hardness of
the marshal in complying with this
ordinary but very important formality.
Herein seems to lie - main cause Of
complaint and trouble, and it should
be very easy matter to remove the
cosus belH at subsists between the
deputy marshals and the logmen'
