on John Jerreil7s property, on South
avenue, dn Fairton township, and the
amount Of pTevarication that can be
worned cut OF witnesses was made
evident curing their examiastion.
As this applicant, and all the Others
now before court are all vel. knowp,
and their record is so notorious in for.
tner proceedings of the court, it is not
worthwhile to nauseate the public with

being stated by Mr.. Sheppard, admit.
ted that he was not naturaii.ed cit

Both sides rested, and Mr. Shepoard
began his argument. He claimed that
no court in this country would Or
should license an unnaturalized for

with the trial and conviction of this
man at the last term of court, and
claimed that he was not fit person to

The good lawyers for the applicants
have poor cases, and thus their labors
are difficult, and the court has the
misfortune (D to know more about
these applicants than any of the law

The great act Of the lawyers for the
applicants was to "bullyrag" the
court by shaking the law in its face.
that was the power and the duty of
the court to license the applicants"
