Z. c. Smith; tomorrow. two more are
expected; the next dav three more. II
is probable the committee will rest it's

alone, would probably consume two
days, and that the investigation would
be continued from day to day. Mr..
Purnell said, moreover. that they were
fortified, as to pay. by the opinions
of the Attorney General. to the Auditor
and Treasurer, saying respectively
that one must issue warrants, and
that the other must pay them. But
Tor all that Treasurer Worth saws he
