And repeated complaint having heretofore

quested the presence of Aldermen Cornish and
Griggs at my examination into the charges
During the examination Mr.. Warehouse
was present in person, and by his counsel,
Judge Burr, after full inquiry into the case,
was fully of the opinion that
each of the charges were proven, in
which opinion Aldermen Cornish and Griggs
concurred Such being the fact, and being
further clearly of the opinion that the welfare
OF the city demands his removal, there was no
| other course left than for me to remove him
