Major Armes refused to pay tue alimoDy,
and when an order was issued for him to

with contempt of court, the deputy marshals
were unable to locate him to serve the
papers upon tim.
His estate was placed under an order of
sequestration that the money might be oh
tanned in that way, but SO far but 81 has
been realized.
The Ia st order Tor him to show him self in
