counsel for DR.. Quinn, asking that the
two vouchers for corOner'S fees held by
the auditor, amounting to $3.50, and
made while Dr.. MarkOe was acting as
coroner, be cancelled and new orders be
made out to DIR. Quinn for the amounts,
was referred to the committee on
claims.
E. S. Thompson requested the board
to authorize the necessary expense of
bringing Rev. Lueian Clark from Erie,
/ a., in the case of John Wilkins, who,

fail unless the county warranted this
expense, as the prosecuting witness was
poor. Mrs. Wilkins, formerly Lille B.
Clark, was present and showed a
marriage certificate, dated Oct. 25, 1870,
signed by Rev. P. L. Pinney, at Fa-
gundas, Pa, and atteSted by John S.
