The following transcripts are arranged, however, in the chronological 
order in which the depositions were taken, which is also the order of the 
interrogatories—Hyde, Bishop, Miles, Allen—the interrogatories to each

These four depositions, taken in behalf of the Burbages, are in effect 
the cross-examination of the plaintiff’s four principal witnesses. ]
