in that light but all other bills went oyer over until the regular july setting which will be in a few days deputy clerk williams took the minutes but he has a singular lapse of memory a ai to the excuse given for the appropriation first he said that david openshaw Opens baw was taking the minutes when the item was discussed this mr openshaw denies when the denial was stated to mr williams he be said 1 I must have been busy with the minutes there were three or four motions to be recorded at that ume time relating to the bird bounty there is ia nothing therefore can be obtained throwing light on the question of how this appropriation was made ahead of all others unless the paper was right in its presumption when it said that it was presumably to assist delegate thurman to got get to

firm was given retainer and at the close of the trial then it was stipulated that if the cabe were appealed 00 50 m more ore should be forthcoming the case has been appealed and thurman wedgwood have done a little work on that appeal out the case has yet to be beard the appropriation appears to le a little ahead of the work but there can be no spec special ial complaint raised on that point the main thing is that the chim was allowed outside of the regular sitting and ahead of all other claims on file if it were not for the purpose stated by bv the enquirer then why was it thus maue made |
