The court proceedings drew 11 large
attendance. Mr. Jessup with the jun-

with Mr. Fox and took seats at 1111-,
nttorney'stable. Mr. Jessup was ill-
1.rduced to Col. Burpee by Mr. Roy—
nolds as was also Mr, Fox. When Mr.
Judson came. in there were further
introductiOns.
The audience rose as Judge Robin-

‘,.Iessup said he was ready to proceed
with the s11lnttission of 11-11111 argu-
upon that point. The court
told Mr. Jessuu to proceed as he saw
fit. Judge Robinson said that the
'court was sitting under a provision
of the law. Mr. Judson then offered
a suggestion that: the court should take
action upon the pleading which he.
claimed was a protest of Mr. Lille-y
against the sitting of the two judges
at. a tribunal. He asked the court to
consider whether they were lawfully
