In his charge to the grand jury Tuesday,
Judge Royce took occasion to give them a
few points in regard to proceedings which
were TO be instituted against officers of the
Trust company. In this connection he said
as reported by the Messengers The Legisla.
ture OF Vermont in 1868 passed an act to in.
corporate the National Trust compony to be
located at st. Adams. In 1874 the name of
the company was changed to the st. Adams
