an account to the auditor tor
$4,000 for eleven days OF court,
and that he had employed eleven
HOSES, and, from the mileage charged,
each horse had travelled 4S4 each day
and that James Brent was Democratic
sheriff in a Democratic county, instead OF
being Republican sheriff, as charged by
Mr.. Richardson, at the morning session.

ness or hold any special term to clear NJ
the docket in Bernaillo county. Mr.
