The object OF the mandamus enforce the right

giving tho to TIE Clerk, had taken away the pur
pose OF the free exhibition OF the fee book and that
Clerk was not bound his books to a committee,
especially when that committee was ayowedly seeking
means for his indictment.
Judge Davis IN a long opinion examines all these
