He read from the Revised Statutes the section requiring that deputy marshals should be qualified voters in the precinct in which they serve. With relation to the approval of accounts for'the pay of these officials, he said that in the absence of any impeachment it Would be assumed that the marstal had complied with the provisions of the law. He said that when the accounts came to him Would give then careful consideration. Judge Lawrence said he did Bot think the accounting officers had any right to question the judgment of the marshal as to the umber of deputies be should employ, ‘Thomas Cavanaugh, ex-assistant sergeant-at- arms of the House, Was next examined.
