terest. He says that no injury should fol
low such an investigation. He says. signifi
cantly, that 'iacts already developed tenu
to show that there are Others which ought
to be exposed" This does not necessarily y
allude to Clerk Ambrose. There isa dis
trlbution bo, k, in which are recorded

and rec rds of the Court from known
thief. These books also contain evidence
against other men than Ambrose. 1t II
