She had continued to trade with him after the alleged crime.
 < The court allowed the nolle, thus dis posing of the matter. Mir. Botwick has been in court since the session commenced and would have been glad to stand trial so that he could be ac- quilted by a jury's verdict, which he felt sure would be the outcome of the case
