in connection with the other evidence, is House's affidavit (C.P.T. p 14.), the only other testimony directly relating to this matter. But I am now also satisfied that Mr. Durant must be charged with the whole of this $168874.45 instead of with the balance only of his statement No. 8 (Hardy depositions) $107525.68 as found by the draft report. On reexamination of it, I think, as claimed by the Complainants, that the account given by Hain (C.P.T. pp 36-38) of the payments to Mr. Durant as taken from the Credit Mobilier books, and as accounted for and balanced upon the books of the contract, shows that Mr. Durant did receive in these payments directly from the Credit Mobilier not only the $308000. estimated profits, but also the entire amount of this $168874.45 extra work And I therefore charge him with it with interest from August 15th 1865 assumed as the average date of its payment to him - the earlier payments to him being covered by his current Disbursements. But I cannot agree with the Complainants that the accounts which Mr. Durant produces from his own books (Hardy depositions) show that he has received this same amount a second time from the Credit Mobilier. --True
