Thomas Robertson, a witness produced on behalf of claim-
ant, being duly sworn, answers and says to the general in-
terrogatories:
To the first interrogatory:
A. 50 years; with the exception of about two years and a
half I lived in Dorchester; been a voter for 25 years, and
risided in 1865 in Quantico district.
2d.
A. I did apply. Mr. Pusey, one of the Registers, asked
me if I would take the oath? I took it, and answered the
questions satisfactorily, so tar as I know. I saw, when the
list of qualified voters was published, that my name was
missing. On the first day of sitting for review, I went to
them to know what charge they had against me. Mr. Mills,
one of the Registers, told me that the had heard me say I did
not think I could take the oath. 1 saw Mr. Pusey, also a
Register, who was about to leave. I stated the case to him,
and he told me he did not see why I could not be a legal
voter from the charge. I insisted he should call him, Mr.
Mills, as a witnesss against me. He (Mr. Mills) stated the
case to Mr. Pusey, and Mr. Pusey told. him that he could not
be with Mr. Mills and Mr. Wilson (Registers both), because
he had to go to the burial of his mother-in-law; but lie could
not see why I could not be a legal voter if that was all the
charge against me. They said that was all the charge
against me. Was not registered as a qualified voter.
3d.
A. [ did not vote; would have voted for Mr. Franklin,
4th. Waived.
Cross-examination:
To the first interrogatory:
A. I answered all the questions satisfactorily, as I sup-
posed, to the Registers, and I don't feel disposed to answer
any more.
2d:
A. I do not feel disposed to answer any more questions.
3d:
A. I decline to answer,
4th:
A. Don't feel disposed to answer.
