You re- member Corporals Page and Reed, tvc boys-yes schoolboys as you might say who were the closest of friends.

He referred to the arguments of counsel and the principles of law which they had laid down, He was influenced in the case before him solely by the evi. denoe presented. and found therein nothing that would justify him in en. terinR & decree of conviction against the defendant. To his mind tue law, SO far as it applied to the ofrense alleged, had been satisfied when the agent. Keleher, had been fined for the very offense charged against the present defendant, and he declared MT. Briggs acquitted of the offense.
 That the verdict was popular one was demonstrated as the justice con- oluded his remarks. The crowd burst into storm of applause that was ap. pArently universal, and Briggs and Nickerson wers congratulated on the outcome.
