that he has in many instances collected taxes given
recepts for the same and not entered tue tfans2c'

treaty organizing the commission as a case already
adjudicated II was at the time agreed that II,
upon inquiry any cases against the United States should
be found falling within the class Isaac Taylors
case, they should also be Withdrawn.
On calling the docket yesterday, when the OF
Peudresuvie against the United reached the
counsel for the United States declared that It
pended under the agreement IN regard to the Of
Taylor The counsel for the French Republic then moved
that the cases which the counsel for the United
States eontended came within that class should
be proceeded with, that the evidence should
be taken and filed the Commission called
upon 10 determine whether they actually came within
the agreement To this the counsel for the United States
objected on the ground rst that II agreed be-
tween the diplomatic representatives the Secretary OF
State and the French Minister withdraw the Taylor
