Hie accountant had evolved a theory, which

"Then, if tho Court please,' i-oncludcd the

he would make no decision, because t lint point

Mr. Shields at onco asked for an exception,

Some tlmu was consumed In determining:

About slxt men, several of thorn negroes,

In tlie meantime, tho gangs of prisoners, of
