JANUARY 19TH, 1866.
Met pursuant to adjournment, at Reholoth.
HENRY PAGE,
Cleric.
James J. Moore, a witness produced on behalf of the
Claimant, being duly sworn, answers and says:
To the first interrogatory :
A. Fifteen years the last time, been a voter 15 years, re-
sided in 1865,in District No. 6.
2d.
A. Did apply; took the oath; no witness; answered all the

and finally remarked, that as to the nomination which had
been made that did. not suit me, and I was not certain I
