As to the charges of corrupt practices by agents, some were of a trivial nature, sad he submitted that the interests of public mors•it, would be in no way pre- judiced by the arrangem.ut proposed by the parties, namely to ask that an order be mads diarniasiug the petition without costs to either party, and allowing the deposit paid into court by the petitioner to be paid out again to him.
