answer. He oaid that since last evening he
had read the amendments and the aft
davits offered, and considered all matters
under the rule laid down in the case of
Kessling vs.. Shaw. He would allow the
second amendment, but would refuse the
first one, as the contract set forth in it
seemed to be unconnected and immaterial
