it will meet with your concurrence.  The ground of your dissent, we presume, was the want of
indifferent testimony to establish the fact of the petitioner's absence from the state of Maryland.  As
this testimony is now procured, we flatter ourselves all objections to the relief prayed for will be effectually
removed.
