Z certified copy of the masters report Of the test-
raony on which the divorce granted. Counsel
did not state the reason for wanting the report.
While a copy Of the report was being prepared
Judge Raston, IL is alleged entered the prothono-
tary's office, took the report away with him and
impounded il. Counsel made several attempts 70

lief that Judge Ralston was inspired 10 impound

report for her personal use Mrs English
adds that she would not accept the $500 II II were
awarded her, but entered the suit for the purpose
OF obtaining yindica ton in the matter
