tuted The report was adopted by the
house this afternoon and the senate 1t

ness that was going on and could not
be presumed to be guilty in the alb
sence Of such evidence. The other
members of the commission held, how
ever, that the board could not have
been ignorant, and. if not in collision,

in their duty and were therefore
culpable. Judge Doane (dem. and w.

tinuous plundering OF the state by one OF the
contractors for furnishing supplies to the hos

financially responsible to recover back the
