Serving as British CONSUL" He also
asserts that his mail after the war open
ed was delivered to him bearing stick
ers" which said that their contents had
been read by the British censor at Dur
ban. The consul looked up international
law, but, 10 use his own words, failed
to find anywhere that one military power
can use its own discretion as to forward
ing the official dispatches of neutral
government to its representative in a be-
sieged country"
The statement in detail says that the
former consul first desired to leave Pre-
toria because he thought that his govern
ment at home twas entirely in the dark
as to the exact conditions in South At
rica." Americans, Mr.. Macrum saws,
were taking the oath of allegiance to the
Transvaal republic, and American inter-
ests "were in that condition which de-
manded that the department of state
should be cognizant of them.
The consul tells of the delaying of his
dispatches, beginning on Nov. 6, and
gives the text of the principal messages
1t was on Dec. 4, he says, that permis.
sion to leave Pretoria reached him in an
answer to his telegram of Nov. IA, which
the censor at Durham had held until
Dec. 2.
The statement concludes with the as.
sertion that Secretary Hay has been a
silent or conniving partner to discredt-
ing reports of the consul's official acts
and that an attempt has been made To
tear down Macrum's personal reputation.
Mr.. Macrum protests that no request
through the department Of state looking
to the care of British interests at Preto.

CASE ARGUED IN BANK.
The Entire Membership of the 4
Interested in an Eiectment Case
Now Before the Court.

argued before the county court in bank

This is an ejectment case, John Doa

Harry Seal died between 1880 and
1880, having first made mortgage. The
mortgage fofecIosed against the admins
traitor Of Henry Seal and sold the prop
erty.
Walter Seal, the plaintiff, and son OF
Henry Seal, received no notice OF this
foreclosure and his interest in the equity
OF redemption was sold without his
knowledge.

ton upon the necessity Of notifying heirs
Of mortgagors who are in tile law c.lled

the bar has been divided on this uues-
tion. The court has never made de-

govern the future practice. !.
