CONEY MARKET AND CITY 2VEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there has been very little alteration in the general state of trade in the l eaaufacturing districts. India goods at Manches ter have continued very quiet, but a fair amount of business has been done for home require- Monts. Wools and yarns at Bradford have realised s teady rates, but only moderate transactions have taken place in piece goods. At Leeds the woollen trade has been very quiet, with no change of im portance to note in prices. The 'hosiery business at Leicester has continued dull, while considerable depression has prevailed at Nottingham. At Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance in the various branches of manufactures connected with the neigh bourhoods. In Mark-lane to-day, the transactions in English and foreign corn took place at an advance of Is. per quarter. A call of L 4 per share, amounting to £160,000, is due to-day on the Charing-cross railway shares. E Notwithstanding the preparations now in pro- E gress for the usual quarterly disbursements, and the increased demand for accommodation they might be expected to create, the money market continues E very quiet, and the rates, although showing little variation, tend in the direction of augmented easi ness. The competition thus excited among the discounting interest facilitates the operations of the mercantile classes, who are enabled to obtain the means they require upon approved securities at ex ceedingly moderate quotations. The general posi tion of the market is favourable, and its future pros. pects, coupled with the limited character of the demands likely to arise in the course of the next few weeks, induce the opinion that the minimum will be lowered to 31 per cent., the rate at which first class bills are already negotiable in private channels. Very little business has been transacted in the English Stock Market to-day, but the quotations are rather firmer than they were at the close of last week, Consols being 931 1 for money, and 931 for account. Speculation is very dull, and the dealings for transfer are too limited to create anima tion. India 5 per Cent. Loan has decline to 103 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper remains at 96 ; and the Debentures are heavy at 96: ; Exchequer Bills are steady at par 38. prem. Very few transactions are recorded in Foreign Securities, but prices are rather heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 to 741 ; ditto New, 571 to 57 4 ; and the 4 per Cents. are firm at 1011 ; Dutch 2 4 per Cent s . h ave rece d e d t o 64 1 ; ditto 4 Cents. to 1011 ; Mexican to 21! ; and Spanish Certifi cates to 61 ; Russian 3 per Cents. remain at 631. _ The Ocean Al ar i ne I nsurance Shares are 2 1 prem. ; th e Thames and Mersey, the Uni versal, 3 A less huoyan„t prem. tone has been apparent in th e Railwayfi prem. ; and Share Market, and the few dealings re corded show a downward movement in prices. Bristol and Exeter and Eastern Counties have receded 55., Great Northern lOs , and London, Chatham, and Dover ; Midland and North- Eastern (York) have improved ss. The Foreign and Colonii Markets are also inactive. Dutch-Rhenish realise 121, and Antwerp and Rotterdam 51. Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to 271 281, and Great Western of Canada realise 131. East Indian size 100 to 1001, and Great Indian Peninsular 964. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown no change of importance. , I ! 1 BRITIS H FUNDS —CLOSING PRICES . 3 per Cent.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets bell on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, chiefly in poor condition. Prime samples advanced is to 2s per quarter, but other qualities were a dull inquiry. There was a good consump tive demand for all kinds of spring corn, the value of which had an upward tendency. The flour trade was firm. TALLOW Throughout the Continent wheat has commanded more attention, but no change of importance has taken place in the quotations. In the United States produce generally has ruled active on higher terms. The exports to Eng land continue very large. Up to our market last week the arrivals of home-grown produce were limited. From abroad we received 27,539 quarters of wheat, 754 barley, 13,906 oats, 6,465 beans, 1,094 tares, 8,115 linseed, 5,160 rapeseed, 10 maize, 400 sundry seeds, 7,725 sacks, and 33,075 barrels of flour. The arrival of English wheat fresh up to-day coastwise and by land carriage was only moderate, and the general condition of the samples was inferior. Good and fine qualities sold somewhat freely at is to 2s per qr. above last Monday's currency, but low and damp parcels moved off slowly at late rates. The accounts at hand from most of our leading districts state that rather a large portion of the crops is still in the fields for the time of the year. We were well supplied with nearly all kinds of foreign wheat, in which a steady consumptive business was pass ing, at quite is per quarter above last week's quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were in request, and rather dearer. The show of both English and foreign barley was limited. Most kinds moved off freely, at full quotations. Tnere was a fair demand for fine malt, but inferior kinds were very dull, at barely late rates. The show of oats was limited, and the oat trade was firm. Good sound parcels advanced Cd. per parter. The few beans on offer were mostly disposed of at full currencies. Peas commanded extreme rates, with a fair demand. The flour trade was steady, at fully last week's quota. tions.

We were well supplied with each kinclOFf:reig; stock to-day, and the demand ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Compared with Monday last, we were somewhat heavily supplied with beasts, in considerably improved condition. For all breeds we have to report a depressed inquiry, at a fall in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Blbs, and a total clearance was not effected. There were some remarkably good shorthorns on offer. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,800 short-horns ; from other parts of England 800 various sorts, and from Ireland 460 oxen and heifers. No stock reached ne from Scotland. Wo were tolerably well, though not to say heavily, sup plied with sheep, the general condition of which was by so means first-rate. All breeds met a dull inquiry, at a fall in value, compared with this day sennight, of 2d per 81bs. The best Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. About 350 sheep came to hand from Ireland: • Calves were in moderate supply, and heavy request, at Thursday's decline in value. The top price was 5s per Blbs. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at last week's currency. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 11,522 head. In the corresponding week in 1859 we received 9,893; in 1858, 6,603 ;in 1857, 6,323 ; in 1856, 7,877; in 1855, 7,378; and in 1854, 7,746 head. rom Port Philip, 1,263 from New Zealani, 103 from Laun. ceston, 703 from Algoa Bay, and 550 from Port Elizabeth Although the shipments from St. Petersburg. cmtinue on a very liberal scale, our market continues steady, at full prices.

The Africa brings further details of the loss of the Lake Superior steamer, Lady Elgin, which was run down by the schooner Augusta, off Wankegan, about two o'clock on the morning of the Bth inst. The steamer left Chicago on the previous evening, for Lake Superior, having on board about 380 per sons, including some 300 excursionists. The follow ing account of the catastrophe is given by the clerk of the steamer : " The Lady Elgin left the port of Chicago at half past eleven o'clock for Lake Superior. Among the passengers were the Union Guard, of Milwau kee, composing a part of some 250 excursionists from that city. At about half-past two o'clock this morning the schooner Augusta, of Oswego, came into collision with the Lady Elgin, when about ten miles from shore. The vessel struck the steamer at the midships gangway on the larboard side. The two vessels separated instantly, and the Augusta drifted by in the darkness. At the moment of the collision there was music and dancing going on in the forward cabin. In an instant after the crash all was still, and in half an hour the steamer sunk. I passed through the cabins. The ladies were pale but silent. There was not a cry or a shriek—no sound but the rush of the steam and the surge of the heavy sea. Whether they were not fully aware of the danger, or whether their appalling situation made them speechless, I cannot tell. A boat was low ered at once, with the design of going round on the larboard side to examine the leak. There were two oars belonging to the boat, but just at that moment some person possessed himself of one of them, and we were powerless to manage the boat. We succeeded once in reaching the wheel, but were quickly drifted away and thrown upon the beach at Winetka. Only two boats were left on the steamer. One of them contained 13 persons, all of whom were saved. The other bore eight persons, but only four of them reached the shore alive, the four others being drowned at the beach. Beforo I left the steamer the engines had ceased to work, the fires having been extinguished. The force and direction of the wind were such that the boats and fragments of the wreck were driven up the lake, and would reach the shore in the vicinity of Winetka. As I stood upon the beach hopelessly looking back upon the route we had drifted, I could see in the grey of the morning objects float ing upon the water, and sometimes I thought human beings struggling with the waves. Captain Malott, of the schooner Augusta, states, that when he first discovered the steamer's lights, both red and bright, he supposed her to be from a quarter to half a mile distant, and steering N.B. " It was raining very hard at the time ; we kept our vessel on her course, east by south, until we saw a collision was probable, when we put the helm hard up, but struck the steamer two or three minutes afterwards, just about the paddle box on the port side. The steamer kept on her course, her engine in full motion, and headed the Augusta around north, alongside the steamer, but they got separated in about a minute, when the Augusta fell in the trough of the sea ; all the head gear, jib boom, and staunches were carried away. We took in sail and cleared away anchor, supposing the vessel would fill. After clearing the wreck and getting up the foresail, we succeeded in getting before the wind, and stood for land. We lost sight of the steamer in five minutes after the collision. Mr. Beaman, second mate, states that at half-past two a squall struck us; in five minutes more saw the light of the vessel about one point off the port bow. I sung out hard a port; the vessel seemed to pay no attention, and struck us just forward of the paddle box, larboard side, tearing off the wheel, and cutting through the guards, into the cabin and hull. After striking us the vessel hung for a moment and then got clear. I went below to see what damage was done and when I got back the vessel was gole." The steamer sunk in twenty minutes, in three hundred feet of water. All perished with the exception, it is estimated, of ninety-eight. Among the lost is Mr. H. Ingram, M,P., proprietor of the Illustrated London News. The honourable gentleman's body is said to have been recovered. Up to the morning of the 10th, twenty-seven bodies had been recovered. All accounts repre sent the city of Milwaukee as shrouded in mourn ing, and business seems to be entirely sus pended. The owner of the Lady Elgin has libelled the schooner Augusta, and the vessel has been taken in charge by the United States Mar shal. This will cause a full investigation of the affair. All the survivors unite in according to Captain Jack Wilson, commander of the LadyEl gin, praise for his great bravery and daring through out. He was foremost in confronting the danger, and earnest for the safety of the passengers. He was drowned within a hundred feet of shore. Noarly one hundred persons arrived within fifty yards of the beach, but wero swept back by the returning waves and lost. Per Blbs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.'

MARTIN'S HALL, LONG ACRE.—The interior of St. Martin's Hall, recently de stroyed by fire, is about to be restored, the walls having been found, on a careful survey, not to have sustained such a fearful amount of damage as was at first represented, and only a small portion will have to be rebuilt. A. large quantity of debris, being the remains of the roofs of houses, and galleries, which fell inside the building, has been re moved -, and on Saturday a body of workmen were en gaged in making preparations for carrying out the work. A great portion o f the stone stairs are left entire, neyer theless they will require some repairs in order to sustain in safety the immense weight imposed upon them. A man was found in the antechamber 0 ,, f th , e , sleeping-room of the Sultan, a nd was arrested b y the lady" attending without.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. This meeting, which commences to-morrow, will be for the most part e-mposed of weight for age races for two and three-yr-fAs, with the exception of the I:asLcra Counlie; , , , Handfcap, which has obtained this year the largest nun:- bar of entries since it was first established. There will be about 30 runners, selected from the following :—Twilight, 4 yrs, Oat 81b ; Neophyte, 4 yrs, Oat 41b ; The Rover, 4 yrs, Bst 101 b ; Hartley \Vintney, 3 yrs, Bst 81b ; Penalty, 4 yrs, Bst 51b; Thunderbolt, 3 yrs, Bst 41b; Emily, 3 yrs, Bst 31b; Marseillaise, 4 yrs, Bst; Paleface, 3 yrs, Bst; Man Friday, aged, Bst ; Forager, 3 yrs, 7st 131 b ; Maggiore, 3 yrs, 7st 131 b; Clemanthe, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b; Curlew, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b; Pomona, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b; Ardour, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b; General Hess, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Seclusion, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b ; Optimist, 3 yrs, ist 101 b ; Uncle Ned, 3 yrs, 7st 71b ; Clio, 3 yrs, 7s 71b; Cantine, 4 yrs, 7st 71b; Bentinck, 3 yrs, 7st 71b• Bankrupt, 4 yrs, 7st 61b; Golden Pippin, 3 yrs, 7st 51b 1 Suburban, 3 yrs, 7st 41b; Narcissus, 3 yrs, 7st 31b ; Wild, grave, 4 yrs, ist 31b ; Audrey, 4 yrs, 7st 31b ; E n fio d, 4 yrs, 7st 31b ; Gibraltar, 3 yrs, 7st 21b; Sneer filly, 3 yr , , 7st 21b ; Pedlar, 3 yrs, 6st 71b ; Rose of Cashmere colt, 3 yrs, Gst 41b ; Mayflower, 3 yrs, Est 41b ; Skelton, 3 yrs, dst 101 b. To select the winner from such a field is a matter of the c,catest difficulty, but Peialty, The Rover, Cantine, Gibraltar, and the best of Mr. Ten Brooch's should not be forgot in selecting a lot against the field. The Hopeful Stakes, for two-year-olds, is another race where speed is the chief requisite, and the Derby backers of Dundee are not unlikely to have their confidence shaken by his performance therein, for he does not possess that quality in a very high degree, the half mile being decidedly unsuited to him, especially when meeting such horses as Walloon and Queen of the Vale, and I mill not be sur prised to see him lower his colours to one of them. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes, for 3-yr-olds, about one mile and a quarter, may further mystify the world as to the real merits of the St. Leger horses, for Thormanby and the Wizard again meet at even weights, while they each give High Treason 71b. Now, in the St. Leger the latter fairly beat the pair at even weights, yet in the Cup Th( r manby gave him 71b and a good beating, and the Wizard got home first in the Don Stakes, which contradiction is explained by High Treason not being an every day horse, his running having always been very in and out. If the running in the St. Leger was correct of course High Trea son ought to win, but as I have great doubts of that I will pin my faith this time to Thormanby, even with his extra 7 lbs., and as Thunderbolt has been doing good work lately he may obtain second honours. The Buckenham Stakes of 300 sous each, h ft, for two yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b, will fall to Folkestone or the Ranee filly. The match between Mr. Crawfurd's Nicholas and the Duke of Bedford's Montenegro, for 500 sovs, will be car ried of by the former. On Wednesday the owner of Mouravieff will pocket the Eleventh Triennial Produce Stakes. The Second Twelfth Triennial -Produce Stakes of 10 soya, for three •yr-olds, will introduce us again to most of the St. Leger candidates, including St. Albans, Sabreur, King of Diamonds, Winton, Sweetsauce, Cape Flyaway, Tom Bowline, and Donner and Blitz. If Sabreur, St. Albans, Sweetsauce, and Cape Flyaway meet, there will be a most interesting race, as there is no penalty for the St . Leger winner; but I shall stick to Sabreur, and expect to see him cut down St. Albans, thereby showing that the St. Leger running was all a mistake. The St. Leger Stakes the Wizard ought to win, although he has to give Leprochaun Vbs. The Granby Stakes, of 30 sous each, will likely be a walk over for Folkestone. On Thursday the most important races is the Thirteenth Triennial Stakes for two-yr-olds. Amongst the representatives of the Whitehall Stable ale the Dark Robin Hood, who has been supported for next year's Derby, Vergiss-Mein-Nicht, and Klarikoff. Amongst the other public performers are Asteroid, Folke stone, Prudence, Wing, and Matador. As I prefer horses that have run to dark ones, I shall give the preference to Folkestone and Vergiss-Mein-Nicht. The Rutland Stakes, of 30 sovs each, 20 ft, for two •yr olds ; colts, Bst 71b; and fillies, Bst 31b; has Cowley, Sweet. hawthorn, and Prudence amongst their entries, and they shall represent my interest in the order named. The acceptances for tho Crosarewitch and Cambridge shire close to-morrow, and will appear in a late edition of The Sun. The weights appeared in The Sun twenty-kw hours before any other paper in London. A FRESH MAN. MANCHESTER RACES-SATURDAY. The Grand Stand Plate Handicap of 50 sovs, for all ages. One mile.

The damage to the crops will be considerable, especially to the barley, much of which will be rendered unfit for malting Purposes. A great quantity of second cut clover and meadow grass has been completely spoilt, in consequence of the ungenial state of the weather. Prices, in consequence, have risen considerably, the factors charging £6 10s. per ton. The Patric., which has laboured to persuade the world that it publishes none but official news, has been sin gularly unfortunate lately. Among other inaccuracies it announced that General de Gayon would not return to Rome ; secondly, that the French troops in Rome would not be reinforced; thirdly, that the King of Naples had left for Seville; fourthly, that there. had been no revolutionary movement at Subiaco, Tivoli, Su ; and lastly, that General de Lamoriciere was marching tc, Gaeta. If the soi-dtsant semi-official journal so frequent ly leads us astray, how are we to rely on minor stars ?

LAW INTELLIGENC.E.--(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. IMPORTANT CASE ENDEIt THE MERCHANT SITIPPING ACT. BRADY V. 'LINDSAY, M.P., Th.!s was an action in which a seaman named Brady sought to recover L 9 from defendant, the well Inown ship owner and member for Sunderland, under the following circumstances : Mr. Hennekey (instructed by Mr. Ley), for the plaintiff, said the sum now claimed by the plaintiff was for good con duct money. Plaintiff, a seaman, had been induced to cuter defendant's service by a promise that if he (plaintiff) con tinued in the service for three years he should have ss. per month good conduct money. Plaintiff entered defendant's service on the 29th August, 1856, and left on the Bth No vember, 1859, and he now claimed the good conduct money as per agreement. Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison (instructed by Messrs. °Ever son), for defendant—Before you go any further I must ask if that agreement is in writing, and has been signed Wore the shipping -master ? Mr. Hennekey—lt has not been sinned before the ship ping -master. His Honour —Then we can't have it. 11Ir. H ennekey did not imagine he should be met with such an objection. The man had been promised the extra 55., and such an objection, purely technical, ought not ,to be taken. Mr. Harrison—l beg to call your Honour's attention to the 150th section of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854. By that section it is enacted that the agreements between sailors in foreign-going ships and the shipowners must be signed before a shipping-master. His Honour—Have you the agreement here which was signed before the shipping -master ? Mr. Harrison—We have, and there is no mention in it of the extra ss. The document was then handed to Mr. Hennekey, who admitted that there was no mention in it of the sum now in dispute. His Honour--.Was the ship plaintiff sailed in a foreign going ship ? Mr. Harrison—yes ; London to Calcutta. His Honour, upon referring to the Act 17 and 18 Vic., cap. 104, sec. 150, as relied upon by Mr. Harrison, observed that plaintiff could • not recover. Plaintiff would be non suited, and costs awarded to defendant. Mr. Hennekey would repeat that he did not expect a defence of this kind from a gentleman in the pdsition of Mr. Lindsay. Inducements were held out to seamen to enter the service of defendant by promising ss. extra per month, and-- Mr. Harrison—l beg to state that I hold my brief in the regular way. Mr. Lindsay is out of the country now, and lam instructed by his attorneys. I may add that we waive all question of costs. His Honour—you can do so, but the case is at an end, and I am no judge of morality. Plaintiff nonsuited. No costs asked for. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAT.) BOW-STREET. A DRIIMN CRIPPLE.—Ann Taylor, a tall, middle aged woman on crutches, her garments in a very dirty and tattered state, was placed at the bar, charged with being drunk and incapable. The constable said on Saturday night he found the pri soner lying on the ground in a state of drunkenness. He saw it was impossible for her to move from the spot without falling through lameness, so he took her into custody. Mr. Henry—Well, prisoner, what have you got to say for belng found as the policeman describes ? Prisoner—l wasn't drunk, sir. It's true I was on the ground, but I wasn't drunk. Mr. Henry—Not drunk; why the constable says you could not get up. Prisoner—Ah, he can say what he likes. I was on the ground, that I admit; but I fell down. Mr. Henry—Through being drunk. Prisoner—l say again no, sir. I fell down through my affliction, lameness. lam down two or three times a day, so if the police were to take me to the station-home every time they found me on the ground, they'd have enough to do. I should be here at least three times a-day. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—You must have been drunk ; the officer could have no object in taking you in custody if you were not. Is she known ? Inspector Mackenzie—Yes, your worship, she's been hers before. The last time she was sentenced to seven days im prisonment for drinking. Prisoner—No, I warn't ; so you're wrong. The fact is there's so much persecution in this world that it is not safe for poor people like me even to walk about. God made us all ; we're all food for worms, and I don't think I ought to be treated worse than any other worm. (Laughter.) Inspector Mackenzie—The officer who had her in charge is in attendance. Prisoner—And ho says 1 had soven days the last time I was here ? Inspector Mackenzie—Yes. Prisoner—Then I should like to see him. He must hay a good recollection. (Laughter.) Police-constable 109 F—l know the prisoner ; she has been in prison for drunkenness. She has had seven days in prison is my knowledge; but the last time I had her in custody at this court she was discharged. Prisoner—Of course—you see, sir. The last time I was before your worship, or somebody else—(laughter)—l did not get seven days. I was discharged. Mr. Henry—But you have been in prison seven days. Prisoner—l didn't deny it. I only said that the last time I did not get seven days—(laughter)—l was dis charged ; but the time before that itfis quite true I did gel it—and I had to do it. Mr. lienry—You say you are married. What is your husband, and where does he live. - Prisoner—l must respectfully decline to answer that question. He does not do anything for me, and when I see him, as I frequently do, drinking with his concubines, at the bar of publichouses, it hurts my feelings. (Laughter.) I suppose I get excited. I, on some occasions, take a little to keep up my spirits. (Laughter.) Mr. Henry—As you don't reside with your husband you must be in the habit of entering publichouses, or you would not see him. Tell me his name. Ho ought to be made to do sc mething for your support. Prisoner—l've too much respect for him. lie, like a good many others, is fund of gay women. That's what makes me mad—(laughter)—but it don't make me drunk. I may as well own that sometimes my brain wanders. Mr. Henry—That's from your drunken habits. Prisoner—Oh, no, it ain't. I think I ought to know best about my habits. (Laughter.) I don't like to seemly husband drink with his concubines—(laughter)—that':t al l.o and lam the injured party ; so, if your worship w ill __ go this time, I'll try to abstain from excitement, u patronise the drinking fountains. (Laughter.) an. you Mr. Henry—Very well. I'll try you once a„ may be discharged. Prisoner—l am exceedinglysir. Thank you. Good morning. (Laughter.) MARLBOROITG obliged to you, ir-STREET. 1 k t • of 5 9 , Wen oe -s reet, City-road, —S am uel Owen, 47, THE HYDE•rAnR ORATOR CHARGED WITH BEGGING * d escr ibed as a profe ssor of music, nde-park the previouswas charg e d b e f ore Mr. Bcadon w ith soliciting alms in afternoon. The defendant is the well-known stump orator whose proceedi ng s in Ilyde-park for some time p as t h ave b een so notorious. S a muel Peacock, 37 A, said—At 4 o'clock yesterday w hich a largo crowd of personsin llyd - v p a s a rk e 0 , l i l n e t t e h d e , c a e ra n o t r n e g o s t f afternoon I was on duty denouncing whom on a th se e at G w o N a .e s rn th m e t defendantand the press. de Government lecture, conclu sion of his address, delivering th a e having been cautioned by the police respecting his previous collections, the defendant said—" I shall not send my hat round to-day as I have done on pre vious occasions, but if any of my friends wish to give me a few coppers, or even a piece of silver or two, it will be thankfully received, as I have scarcely had sufficient to subsist on during the past week, owing to the limited sub scriptions I have lately received." Having cautioned him that if he received any contributions ho would be taken into custody, he said " I have been receiving them for several Sundays past, and shall continue to do so," and then held out his hand and received several pieces of copper and some silver, and said he had as much right to do so as any organ grinder or monkey-leader in the streets. I then took him into custody. Defendant—l did not say anything about silver. Peacock—You said " even a piece or two of silver." Defendant—Did I hold out my hand till any was offered I' Peacock—Yes. Defendant—What the officer has said is pretty correct, and he did say that if either I or any of my friends collected subscriptions we should be taken. I resolved to test the question before a magistrate. I have discussed the question with the Hon. Mr. Cowper in the lobby of the House ° I . , Commons. It was Mr. Cowper's belief, as it was alsor°ll.Y„. own, and that of several of my friends, that i t we.; ,11.-:: illegal.
