This being the case, it was agreed that the counsel should keep a record of the evidence in the case. The testimony of each witness was accordingly written down by Mr. Fendall, of counsel for petitioner, and Mr. DaTldge, of counsel for respondent.

He had Interlined the omissions, and If thee jrrectlona were made would cerr'ff to It. After tome discission, in which the counsel on each side disclaimed any intention to delay the case, It was agreed to compare the records at once and come to an understanding If possible.
