In the House, the first business

boro, entitled to a seat, instead Of
Rev. DR.. Butler, Republican. The

Grafton was moved, because Perry,
of Camden, wished full explana-
ton of the case. Dickers, from
that committee, stated that the
check list was used at the election !;
that the notice of the meeting was
not legal that one Of the assessors
passed the ballot out of the

that there were sundry other rea-
sons why the action was not legal.
