Now if Mr.. Sullivan acted asAttor-
ney-General, il this case he had no
right TO MAKE a charge of the two hun

convinced that he olg5. to have re-
solve Of the Legislature to sanction his
taxing this money, that he virtually
forged authority, i'll order to get it out
Of Mr. DORIS hands, by giving the fol-
lowing receipt.
