28 A. I am not positive, but I think it was by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Mills—one, if not both. 22d. Was not Levi W. Trader sworn as a witness against Mr. Lowe? A. I do not think he was. I don't, remember. 23d. For what cause was Thomas Robinson disfranchised? A. I don't remember. I think he refused to take the oath. 24th. Did or not your Board on the day of review meet at the-place appointed by their advertisement ? A. They met at Quantico according to appointment; they did not meet in the same room where they had been accus- tomed to meet, because of sickness of the occupant. 25th. Did or not the Board afterwards, after their time was out, meet at the house of Mr. Mills, one of the Registers, some distance in the country from Quantico, where they hoard and received the oaths of applicants, and decided upon their cases ? A. We had no meeting after the day of review. 2nth. Did you not meet at Mr. Mills's after the expiration of the time appointed by law for hearing and receiving appli- cations, and before the clay of review when the oath was administered and decision made upon certain cases? A. Owing to the crowd that pushed themselves upon us on the last afternoon of-our day of meeting, it was utterly impossible then and there to get through the business, and we adjourned to meet, I think, next day at the house of Mr. Mills, to finish the business pertaining to our office. 27th. Did you always keep your office and books open on the days of your meetings from nine o'clock in the morning till five o'clock in the evening on each day? A. We did, as near as we could. 28th. For what cause did you enter Stephen T. H. Wal- lace as disqualified ? A. The book of Registration will show that cause. 29th. The book shows an entry of non compos mentis. Had you any proof of his having been so found by a jury of inquisition, or was any witness sworn to shew his incompe- tency to manage his own affairs ? A. We were satisfied of the fact without a jury. 30th. Has he not managed his own affairs so as to raise respectably a family of children, and collect around him some property? |
