Mr. Waddill claimed that there was a
farif agreement tn hear the eases on iio'9 p,
and he was surprised at the INSTITUTION v'
this technical objection. Tie hau SEM .n'
papers TO Mr.. Conway il. sands at MS To-
quest g.. .,.;..., 60, tho

accepting the notice.
Mr. Meredith argued that IT. II was ri-nt
and proper to institute a ease m the county
of Iltnrir0 IN an Office in the city 81 tich-
mond. then IL would be right to drag the
registrar f0 Patrick county and institute an
llrnricO county ease there.
he also referred TO the fact that ihe no,l,~

plaintiffs came wifha petition signed ni i'l
names. There never was q ease I'D law
