POINTS RAISED BEFORE THE COMMITTING MAGISTRATE:
Quere.—Can bail be given on any other species of property than real estate?
Quere.—Are not these persons indemnified? If so, how? Would it be policy to recognize them as witnesses on the part of the United States?
Quere.—The order is that two sureties in $25,000 each should be furnished—will any other members be taken?
