erate States of America?
4th- Did the said Judges of election at the said election have
before them a paper or list of names which they publicly announced

reason did they assign, if any, for such refusal?
5th. Did they, the said Judges, regard the paper or list of qual-

District in Somerset County, if yea, in which district?
