standing of the company. Mr.. Butler,
who was director from 1865 to 1875,

lowed his dissatisfaction, because Thomas

making Just the proceeds OF those fOdr nc
ceptanccs. Mr.. IluVcn claims that the de
post maze on Nug. ; OF $1,000 was Che
shire rent. GOV. PAGE stated that he AID
not receive the check for the rent until he
was coming home from Boston; that
proceeds of $50 was credited to the Com
pany at the Bank of Redemption, August
-; that is, was discounted through
Pickering x MOselY, and he had the pro
ceeds and paid 1t when due; explained
the entries on the books about ii ; and
stated that note 143O for $4,000 was cred
tied to Mr. Haven by him. Stated that
/ he never knew of MIR. Ravens advancing
money for the benefit of the Company.
! The cross examination by Mr.. Barrett
was then begun. -. Barrett asked to
