APPENDIX TO COUNTER-CASE OF GREAT BRITAIN.

5, On being shown the skins, which, as I before stated, were all in 

 one pile, the said Charles J. Belilow remarked to me that he "had to 

 say he had seen them, for it did not pay to inspect them, as he was 

 only paid 5 dollars a-day for doing it," and on saying this picked up 

 and looked at a few skins, not exceeding live in all, but gave even these 

 no such scrutiny as would be required to determine the sex. The whole 

 time the said Charles J. Behlow was so emj^loyed did not exceed five 

 minutes, and he did not again see the skins. Said skins were subse- 

 quently shipped to London, England, in two lots, 86 obtained else- 

 where being added, making in the two shipments 1,428 skins, 1,269 

 being in one shipment, and 159 in the next. Said two lots were con- 

 signed to the firm of C. M. Lampson and Co., of London aforesaid. 

 About the end of October or beginning of November last advice came 

 from said firm, through their resident agent in New York, one Alfred 

 Fraser, acknowledging receipt of 1,428 skins, and an assortment list 

 was also sent, which is hereto attached, marked (A), accounting for the 

 1,428 skins, of which the 1,342 skins brought in by the vessel " Emma 

 and Louisa," and subsequently seen by said Charles J. Behlow on the 

 premises of C. D. Ladd afore mentioned, formed part.
