petty magistrates ard other county

tanned" b. the ofer o. free railroad
pass. Mr. Meares deprecated the evil
effect that would result. The anli
psss law, in his opinion, had bad
much % do with the present friendly
relation between the people cttha
; State anG railroad corporations, be
cause the suspicion that judge or
