The undemiKncd, member of the committee,
do respectfully report, that we aaw the two nfc
nriuinnlly agreed upon by rarrela & llernnzanil
Evans & Watson, placed side by siilo in a fur
nace, viz: The fafc inuse by the Paymaster of

fc Watson, and put in books and papers precisely
alike.
The'flre was started at 6 o'clock, A. Nt., and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two
cords dry oak and half che.nut top wood were
entirely consumed, the whole under the superin
tendence of the euhscrilcrs, members of the Com
mittee. 7'lic Safes were then cooled off with
water, after which they were opened, and the
books and papers taken out by the Committee

ined and marked by the Committee. The books

Of r arrets V Herring were in our judgment,
damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those
