The Chief Justice then proceeded to take down the objection, and asked Mr Francia for the authority which required the docu ment to be indented.

Mr Francis said he had not the authority by him just now, but the paper began with the words "this inquisition, Indented" &c., and therefore it must be indented,

The Chief Justice said all that was required to be indented was that piece of parchment attached,

Mr Francis said the depositions formed part of the inquisition, and without that doonment there would be no inquisition.

The Chief Justion asked if Mr Franois would go the length of saying that without the indenture the whole inquisition was invalid, in the sam manner as if there bad been no inquisition at all.

Mr Franois said he would not say that, but the evidence formed part of the inquisition and if the seals and signature of the Coroner were removed frors that page, there would be no proof of evidence.
