TO the POLICYHOLDERS and SHARE HOLDERS of the EUROPEAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY. —You have seen from the newspapers that a Petition has been presented to the Court of Chancery for the Winding up of this Society, which is to be heard on Saturday, the 2d of October. This Petition bore the names of Mr. Thomas Carlyle Hayward, a former Director of this Society, and Mr. Robert Crawford, one of its present Directors. Mr. Crawford attended a meeting of the Directors on Monday last, and took part in their deliberations, and on the very next day, without the slightest intimation to his colleagues of his intention, he presented this petition. It is but fair to Mr. Hayward to say, that as soon as he became aware that he had been improperly induced to join in the petition he withdrew at once. The allegations of Mr. Crawford have been responded to in the following affidavit, although the first intimation of his petition was about four o'clock on Tuesday, when notice to appear before Vice-Chancellor James, at two o'clock the next day, Wednesday, was served:— " The statement in the said petition, that the said Society is altogether insolvent and unable to pay its debts is un true. The moneys available for payment of current claims are sufficient for the purpose, and the assets and subscribed capital are, and will be, sufficient to provide for every lia bility as the same may arise. The said Society does, in fact, pay its debts, and there is not a single undisputed and due policy claim remaining unpaid, or which the Board is not prepared to pay, and no debt of which pay ment has been asked of the said Society remains at the present moment unpaid, or which the Board is not pre pared to pay. "The books of the Society show that the petitioner, Robert Crawford, appears a debtor to the Society for sums amounting to .£1,20U or thereabouts. including the unpaid call on his shares, and loans unaccounted for, believed to have been received by him as an agent of the Society." The Directors have also issued the following advertise.. moot to the dail.y papers:— " European Assurance Society. —Tho Directors of the European assurance Society request the policyholders and shareholders not to be alarmed at any of the reports which may appear at the present moment, as they are, advisedly and in full assurance of its sound position, determined to oppose to the utmost the unwarrantable attempts to ruin the Society." Nothing could be more improper than the course pur sued by the petitioner. Had he one grain of the sympathy he professes for the great interests concerned, his course would have been to secure the policyholders first, and not to rush into Chancery and hand these important interests over to a set of wreckers, whose sole object is to fill their own pockets at the expense of the Society. It is now well known that a gang of designing persons has been occupied for weeks, if not months, in compassing the destruction of this and other Insurance Companies, and it is suggested that the policyholders and shareholders throughout the country should combine with the management at the chief office to overthrow these unprincipled attempts at injury. With this view, the time for convening meetings being so short, sheets with headings have been prepared, which can be signed by eitherpolicyholders or shareholders, and havo been distributed to the district managers and agents in the country, where they can be signed, or at the chief offices of the Society, 17, Waterloo. place, Pall-mall, Lon don.

Children under twelve, 6,1, %Id , t• 713 SUM iyfir j le TY' • ;LONDON, SA7 URDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1869 If ever there was a brutal sensational murderer without one twinge of remorse in the despatch of his victims, it has been this young assassin of the KINCK family:of Roubaix, by name JEAN BAPTISTE TRAUPMANN. Seven of the dead bodies of the eight victims in this wholesale atrocity have, as all the world knows, been discovered clumsily hid away only a few inches below the surface of a field at Pan tin. The reported discovery of the eighth corpse, still missing, turns out to have been precipi tately announced under a misapprehension. It is still being sought for in the neighbourhood of JEAN KINCK'S native place in Alsace, the lit tle town of Guebwiller. There the missing man was evidently butchered. There, or thereabouts, his mouldering remains will doubtless sooner or later be discovered. He was manifestly the first obstacle cleared out of the way of TRAUPMANN. His eldest son by a first marriage, GUSTAVE, was the next of the family destroyed by its eventual exterminator. Madame KINCK, nee ROUSSELLE of Tourcoing, JEAN KINCK'S second wife, and, together with MARIE KINCK, their four young children, consisting of four boys and a little girl of three, were the last who were massacred by this miserable wretch TRAUPMANN. An accomplice he may just possibly have had towards the end, namely, when the task before him was the but chering and the burial afterwards, of the six together. But, however, that may be, the planning of the whole arrangement was TRAUP3IANN'S, and no other than TnaurmANN's. Effeminate in appearance, moderate in stature, slight but evidently powerful in build, a stripling in age, being as yet hardly twenty—a reader of, and a brooder over, EUGENE SUE'S criminal ro mances of the " Mysteries of Paris" and of the " Wandering Jew," this appalling criminal, ac cording to his own confession, was bent upon emulating the imaginary monster RODIN, in the last of those two famous narratives. In order to possess himself of the property of JEAN KINCK— a property acquired by years of industry, and amounting, altogether, to a little over five thousand pounds—TRAUMANN deliberately set himself to work to destroy the whole family—a family consist- ing of eight individuals. This determination he arrived at, while he was engaged as a workman at Roubaix, in the elder KINCK'S employment. TRAUPII ANN worked for JEAN KINCK for a period of only a, little more tho.n twn months, from the middle of May until nearly the end of July. Within that interval he wormed him- self into the good graces of the family and into its confidence. He formed his plans. He carried them out afterwards with devilish delib2ration. Ife de, sisted not until he had murdered both the husband and the wife and all the children. His eight victims were destroyed, and their dead bodies, as carefully as haste would permit him, were concealed. Bat, for all that, seven of the eight corpses have already been brought to light, and the assassin himself has been captured. Both the exhumation at Pantin of his seven last victims, and his own seizure at Havre, were purely the result of what we call accident. A labourer stumbling over a pool of blood in the field at Pantin observes a rag sticking out of the newly turned earth —hence, on the very morning after the midnight massacre, the mangled remains are disinterred. An intelligent maritime official going his rounds of in- - - spection one evening amo ng the wine shops of Havre, has his suspicion excited in one of them by the look and bearing of a young man, who turns out to be the impersonator of JEAN KINCK, first of all at Guebwiller in Alsace, and afterwards at the Hotel du Chemin de Fer du Nord at Paris and not only JEAN RINCK'S impersonator, but the destroyer of him and of his whole family. In regard to this horrible and enormous crime two dis- coveries alone remain to be made—the discovery of JEAN KiNcles dead body, and the discovery of the tall man with the large hands, who was observed on the night of the murder at Pantin, following, with a bludgeon in his grasp, the unconscious Madame KINCK with her children, and the conscious ruffian TRAUPMANN, of whom that tall man with. the large hands and the bludgeon was probably an accomplice. Tim miscalled assurance companies which have been found unsafe enjoy a temporary immunity from criticism during the time that their case is awaiting judicial investigation. The Echo has been called to account for commenting upon one of these unfortunate companies, and has been compelled to apologise and promise to be silent. But the subject is one which requires immediate action on the part of policy-holders, grim death will not wait for official investigations, and men must take instant measures to protect their families from the loss which may over whelm them if the bread winner is removed. The European Insurance Company have re ceived a large number of contributions from working men. Many of the small policy-holders are the drivers and conductors of the London omnibusses, some of whom have been paying in two shillings a month for many years, and now find themselves uncertain whether their carefulness and self-denial have not been thrown away. With regard to all insurers for a sum not exceeding £lOO, there can be no doubt that they should avail themselves of the Government insurance through the Post Office, which is both secure and convenient. Insurers for a larger amount will find it answer their purpose to investi gate the condition of the office in which they are investing their money. In all cases they ought to ascertain the proportion between the funds which the company have in hand and the amount of the policies which they have issued. It will be found that this proportion is as low as four or five per cent. in some offices, and as high as forty to fifty per cent. in others.

This question is one of simple figures, and it is surprising that the public have been found to invest freely in offices which, in the very face of their accounts cannot long con tinue to fulfil their engagements. Insurers should also satisfy themselves on another point, and that is as to the amount of commission paid to agents. Of course this _commission is taken out of the pockets of the insurers, and is a charge to which they need not be subjected if they will take the trouble to make inquiries for themselves. The best offices pay no commission, whereas in many cases no less than ten per cent of the receipts is swallowed up by agents. The total expenses of the London Life Association are but little more than three per cent. of its income —a charge which does not exceed the ordinary cost of managing an estate. The result is that, after seven years, the premiums are re duced to about one-fifth of the sum at first charged. This reduction is annually increased so that in about twenty-five years from the com mencement of an insurance it expires altogether. To give a case, a life insured in 1835 then aged 30, was insured for £l,OOO, the premium charged being £3l; in 1862, the premium was reduced to less than £7 per annum ; and it is now £3 ss. In another ten year's, according to the present rate of prosperity of the office it will expire altogether. In many cases it would pay existing insurers to sell out of a doubtful office and insure in one of the old established associations, like the Equitable or the London Life, where they can be certain that their money will be carefully invested and will not be subjected to excessive charges on the part of managers or agents. It will no doubt be desirable to invoke the aid of the Legislature to put a stop to some of the frauds which are now perpe trated by insurance companies, but the case is one which individual insurers have very much in their own power. A man does not want to insure many times in his life, and when he does, the subject is worth a little personal attention. krit- Clunk HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, Sept. 29.

Mr. William Johnston, M.P., in a letter to an Orange leader in Belfast, with regard to an intended meeting in the neighbourhood to advocate a release of the Fenian prisoners, states that " their offence is one which admits of no palliation." Many of them were•mis guided and honest, but "punishment was not unjustly administered to those who disturbed industry, destroyed confidence, and were, perhaps undesignedly, the real obstructives to Ireland's progress." He expresses a hope, however, that no Protestant will interrupt the meeting. "Any Protestant or Orangeman who does so is only forging a chain to bind himself. Men who stir up active and illegal opposition to even a Fenian public meeting are only playing into the hands of those who seek to crush Orange celebrations, and put an end to Protestant meet ings. " Such men," he adds, "are probably equally adverse to Orange as to Fenian displays. They deprecate ours as well as theirs. We, who claim equal liberty and equal rights for all, must take care not to play the game of delu sive politicians, who use, and then abuse ts." The Bank Returns.

We are indebted to a lady correspondent for the correc tion of a mistake, or rather a n emission, in our recent article on Tight-lacing. In ascribing tho ungainly, feeble, and tottering walk of our modern fine ladies and their middle-class imitators to the decreptitucle induced by tight lacing, we omitted to mention another fashionable folly which assists in the production of this evil, and has also othe. sins of its own to answer for. The custom of wearing high boot-heels, and those too so much smaller than the actual heel of the wearer as to afford no solid support, but only a balancing-point, is a source of much mischief. In the first place, it throws the centre of gravity of the body so far forward that a free and gracefully erect carriage is impos sible. Secondly, there being no firm support to the heel, ladies are very apt to twist the ankle suddenly by over balancing themselves ; and this is not only bad in itself but the fear of its occurrence makes them assume a timid, wincing gait. And, thirdly, the effect of driving the foot constantly forward into the too of the boot is to produce a very ugly'and painful distortion of the great toe joint. There is little need for wonder at the almost fierce con tempt with which young men whose characters are at all above the lowest grades of conventional inanity regard the average "girl of the period." It cannot he denied that there is a significant correspondence between the aesthetic hideousness and the degrading effects on physical health which are produced by tight stays and crippling boots, and a certain mental and moral tone in female society of the present day, which is no less surprising than it is repulsive, —Lancet. THE BYRON SCANDAL. The Hartford Courant publishes a short article on the Byron scandal, which is regarded by the American press as a, communique from Mrs. Stowe. In explanation of Lady Byron remaining with her husband after the discovery, or at least after she had strong suspicions of his crime, the writer says :—" The critics call this a slander upon Lady Byron. General Butler calls it condoning crime. Yet if any point is plain in Mrs. Stowe's paper, it is just this, that it represents, and intends to represent, Lady Byron as such a pure, chivalrous, religious woman, moved by as divine a tenderness for her husband as a mother ever feels for a ruined, sinful son, that she was capable of making any personal sacrifice for him. This is the claim of Lady Byron, whom plenty of contemporary testimony called the-most saintly and noble woman in England. Perhaps the world cannot yet comprehend such a character. Perhaps it is more angelic than womanly. It certainly is excep tional. But it is not Mrs. Stowe's invention. It is her representation of Lady Byron as she saw her and knew her, and as others saw her." As to Mrs. Stowe's alleged mercenary motives in the publication of this story the Hartford Courant says :—" We are happy to be able to say, as we are authorised to do, that Mrs. Stowe received nothing more for this paper than she receives for her ordinary contributions to The Atlantic, having, we pre sume, a fixed arrangement with the publishers. That she did not write this for money, is evident to those who know how pressed sho is with literary engagements on all sides, and in a position, so to say, to name her own terms of remuneration." The Wolverhampton Free Library was formally opened on Thursday by the mayor. MOUNT ETNA.—Accounts from Catania of the 26th state that Mount Etna is in eruption on the eastern side of the last cone. Two torrents of lava are descending into the Valle di Buc. Hitherto no damage has been done. IRISH 'WIT.—Tt is in nnr perorailona we shine in Ireland. "May the blessing of the Almighty Father follow your honour all the days cf your life," whined the old hag, as she trotted after the gentleman; and then, seeing at last that her entreaty had not moved him, she added, "and never overtake you! "—Ccradius O'Dowd, iii Mack-wood. Mr. Murray's new periodical, The Academy, of which the first number will appear this day wcek, will contain two important contributions to the Byron contro versy. One of them is a hitherto unpul lisped document, written by Lord Byron, at Venice, in 1516, relating to his separation from Lady Byron; the other is an authentic narrative of the circumstances under which Lord Byron's autobiography was destroyed.—Daily News. BUSINESS AND RELIGION.—During the period of a religious excitement in Boston, a person met a Christiar neighbour, who took him by the hand and said, " I have become a Christian." " I am glad of it," he replied ; " suppose we now have a settlement of that little account between us. Pay me what thou owest." " No," said the new-born child, turning on his heel; "religion is religion, and business is business." VELOCIPEDE POSTMEN.—The Journal des Poster states that a ccmrcittee nominated by the Administration cf the French Post Office has examined some new models of velocipedes for the use of the rural postmen, and that it has adopted one with three wheels very ingeni ously constructed. A mechanism worked by the hands enables this vehicle to ascend the steepest incline. There is also a place behind for carrying a box or portmanteau of moderate size. The inventor is an en gineer of Perigueux. The great defect in the velocipede is thus overcome. THE MAN AND THE DOG.—A. Mr. 11. Chester, a solicitor, 69 years of age, too old, we should think, for an expert climber, has lost his life in the attempt to take a dog up the Lyskamm, a mountain near Z3rroatt and no t to llonte Rosa. He had two guides with him, to whom ht was tied by ropes, and a little dog. The dog fell over a ledge, and ho, leaning over to look after it, fell and dragged his guides with him over a rocky precipice, and over a slope of snow many hundred feet in length. Mr. Chester just survived the fall and then died. The guides, though terribly bruised and injured, survived, and are likely to recover What could havo induced Mr. Chester to take a dog with him up a difficult mountain ascent? He raid on the pre vious day at the table d'hôte that "he had no one depen dent on him"--perhaps he meant excepting the dog, and was resolved to live or dig with it. If so, it was really a ° remarkable" case of fidelity en the part of the man to the dog —a rare set-off to the innumerable cases of fidelity or the part of the dog to the man. TRADE OtiTRAGES.—An outrage on the property of chainmakers was committed on Thursday morning at Crudley, near Stourbridge, where the manufacture of chains is carried on to a large extent. There is a row cf chainmakers' shops at High-town, Crudley, in the occu pation of John Raybould, John Robinson, Tidal Pearson, and Edward Dallow and others, and the shops of the above four were forcibly entered early in the morning of the 30th ult., and a good deal of malicious damage was in flicted. In John Raybould's shop seven pairs of large bellows were destroyed, the leather being cut all to pieces; in Robinson's three; in Pearson's, four; and in Dal low's, two. There has been a movement among the chain , . make's recently for an advance of wages, and the men who have been working at the lower rates appear to have rendered themselves obnoxious to the others. This may serve to explain the outrage, so far as Robinson, Pearson, and Dallow are concerned, but Raybould has been working at an advance. It is suggested that the nocturnal visit to his shop was a mistake, and that another person was intended to be the sufferer. RIBBON OUTRAGE IN TIPPERARY: A brutal attack has been m a d e on a labouring man named John O'Hara. and his wife, wh o res id e at Glencarbery, county Tipperary. Two men with blackened faces entered O'Hara's cabin lato in the evening, when the poor man was eating his supper, and, without any remark, commenced to beat him with stout cudgels having heavy iron ferules. They next attacked the wife, who was sitting at the fire when they came in, with a young child in her arms. The man got fourteen dangerous cuts on the head, and his skull was fractured in two places. The woman got three cuts on the head, and her right hand, with which she endeavoured to ward off the blows from her child, is quite disabled. Both husband and wife are in a most precarious condition. It is a general opinion that O'Hara and his wife were beaten in mistake for others. Strangers, it is said, were emploped to beat a certain person, to prevent him attending court to prosecute in a case that is pending, and the hirelings mistook the house of O'Hara for that of the real object of the attack.

During the heavy thunder storm which visited mak! parts of England on Wednesday night and Thursday morn ing the rain came down in Liverpool with the velocity of a waterspout. On Thursday morning it was discovered that the London and North-Western Railway goods station at Derby-road had been completely flooded. The water was about two feet deep, and casks and packages were floating about in it. Assistance was immediately procured, and the goods removed, as well as the books, &0., from the office, and the horses from the stables. The boilers and engines were full of water, and fire engines had to be obtained to pump it out. The flooding was, it seems, occasioned by the bursting of a sewer. The storm also raged with especial violence at Oxford, and greatly disturbed the meeting which Mr. Cardwell was addressing. " THE TABLET" AND PERE 11 YA CINTIIE Referring to the remarkable letter which recently emanated from the pen of Pero Hyacinthe, the Tablet says, " What has driven this religious to snch a scandal is not the love of some now truth which has illuminated his in tellect and communicated to him the fever, the imp'', ration, and the courage of great reformers ; no, he breaks with tho Ultramontanes, leaves his convent, and descends from his pulpit simply bacauso ho has incurred the blame of his superiors, and because his pride cannot bend itself to that obedince whi ch ho vowed on the day when he assumed the habit of a Carmelite lf we belonged to the Roman Church, our judgment would be severe. Father Hyacinthe has committed ts great sin, the sin of pride." THE EPXLOSION AT BAYSWATER. Another account states that a police-constable had his attention directed to a small quantity of smoke pouring through the windows of the shop, and before he had time to spring his rattle, as if by magic, a loud explosion was heard, and every room in the house became on fire and the roof fell in. To render any assistance to those in the house at once became impossible, owindto the fury of the flames, it being well known that at least eight persons were sleeping in the dwelling. The fire escape arrived in the course of a few minutes, but the conductor was unable to enter the building, owing to the flames which rushed through every window some distance across the road. Several engines belonging to the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, including three land-steamers of Shand, Mason, and Co., having arrived, the firemen found plenty of water flowing from the Grand Junction Company's mains. The brigade immediately went to work in their usual intrepid manner, and were successful in saving the premises of Mr. Payne, of No. 70, and those of Mr. Parsons, of No. 68. The main body of the fire in the premises of Mr. Titheradge could not be extinguished until the building might be said to be nearly destroyed. Mr. Palmer, chief brigade officer of the district, then gave orders for the men under him to search the ruins for the missing parties, and the only person found alive was Mr. E. Titheradge, but he was so severely burnt and injured that he was taken to the hospital, where he lies with little hope of recovery. HARVARD'S APOLOGIA. The Pall .271411 Gazette deals somewhat severely with Mr. Loring ; the stroke of the Harvard boat, for his apologies for the defeat of the American crew. Recently Mr. Loring was "interviewed" in the usual American style, by a Boston reporter, and to him he disclosed various grievances. "In the first place, Mr. Loring complains that they were not allowed to go about naked at Putney, as they used to do at home on the Charles, both when rowing and when taking sun baths' on the platforms of their boat-house. Here they were forced to wear shirts. The shirts caused the men to perspire more than they would at home in a single row, and this took off their flesh sooner than I thought for at first.' Secondly, there is no sea at Putney. And there being no sea, and pipes not being laid from London to Brighton, of course they could not have a sea bath when they returned from rowing. At Putney they had to wait till they got home before they could have a bath, and ran a chance of catching cold on the way. Then the cli mate was detestable. It oppressed them with lassitude, gave at least one of them a bad diarrhoea, and by its damp ness rendered them all very susceptible to cold after exorcise. The diet was hardly better than the weather; at least, it was seldom they could get any milk fit to drink. And all these physical hardships and distresses were aggravated by mental anxiety. Tho Oxford men did not meet them on their arrival in this country, 'rows of people on each side of the path' at Putney as they came in from rowing made 'the most ridiculous remarks about them.' Above all, they lived in constant terror of being poisoned by sporung men - anxious to =au uevis.— Lastly, Mr. Loring complains that though an agreement was made that neither crew should give the other its wash, and though the American coxswain refrained from doing so when his boat had the lead, yet when the Oxford men got ahead their coxswain at once took his opponents' water. " When asked whether he thought the Oxford men would cross the Atlantic to give Harvard a revenge on their own water, Mr. Loring replied, ' I hardly think they will; we cannot claim it as a right, only as a favour.' If Mr. Loring desires to repeat the encounter, he is certainly not taking the best course to that end. Altogether this, is about as good an illustration as one could desire of that blossoming of brotherly love and all the rest of it which was to tako place under the genial heat of international rivalry. These sort of contests, it will be said in future, are apt to breed both bile and bunkum. To Oxford washing the Harvard boat at Putney Reach' will make a noble line in Mr. Sumner's next edition of the Alabama bill." The Law Times hears that the announced " Pro perty Protection League" will be organised as soon as the holidays are over, and they aro now fast coming to a close. The potatoe disease has suddenly appeared in the west of Cumberland. Crops that were, to all appearances, sound and healthy last week, aro now tainted to the extent of one half. The Thermopyla3, Captain Kemball, has arrived off the Lizard iu 88 days from Foochow, with now season's tee. This is said to be the quickest passage over made. The average is 95 to 100 days against the monsoon. On Thursday a thunderstorm broke over Sheffield, accompanied by vivid flashes of lightning, and succeeded by heavy showers of rain. The illumination was brilliaut in the extreme, the blue light dazzling the eyes exceedingly as it momentarily lit up the streets and buildings. The Leeds Town Council on Thursday resolved to send an invitation to the Social Science Association, now holding its congress at Bristol, asking that the next meeting may be held in that town, on the understanding that the amount required for expenses, about £7OO, would bo met by private subscriptions. On Thursday afternoon a man named Nichols was brought to the Liverpool Dectective Office, charged with stealing property belonging to his father. Whilst in the office he took from his pocket a small bottle and drank the contents. When questioned he said the bottle contained prussic acid. In ten minutes the pri onor died. A matter of considerable importance was mooted at the meeting of the Liverpool Dock Board on Thurday— the advisability of illuminating the lighthouses under the charge of the board by means of gas. Mr. Tobin drew attonion to the report of a Government Commission, in which the use of gas was favourably spoken of, and the pro mise was given, on behalf of the Marine Committee, that the subject should receive attention. An important point was raised on Thurshy at the Bradford Revision Court. Two persons claimed to be on the registcr,but as a portion of their respective premises are let for lodgings, the Revising Barrister disallowed the claims, on the ground that they wero only "joint occu piers," and, therefore, not entitled to be on the list. Should the decision be confirmed by the Court of Queen's Bench, to which the question is to bo taken on appeal, large numbers of voters in all parts of the kingdom will be disqualified. Two cases arising out of the Tamworth election were heard on Thursday at the Ilford Putty Sessions. The Rev. T. Burgess, Congregational ininister, was summoned at the instance of Mr. Matthews, the relieving officer, for refusing to attend as a witness at the inquiry made respecting Mr. Matthews' conduct. The case was dismisssed. lx the second case, Sarah-Thomp son, wife of a miner, was charged with perjury, in having sworn that &Ir. Matthews 'refused to give her an hospital ticket because her husband voted for Sir Robert Peel. There was evidently strong political feeling in the town, and the magistrats, thinking there was some confusion in the evi dence, decided not to send tho defendant for trial. A summons was before the Chancery Chief Clerk, Mr. Bloxam, yesterday, in the case "Padwick v. Tha Duke of Newcastle," in reference to the time to proceed. Tneparties when called did not appear. As already stated, Mr. Justice Willes has ordered the sheriff of Middlesex to withdraw from possession of the Mansion, Carlton House Terrace, within a week. The sheriff has been served with the order made on the part of the Duke of Newcastle, and stops are being taken to carry out the order so as to relieve the Duke from the " man in possession," and to pro vide for the life interest claimed by Mr. Padwick, said to be worth £22,000.4 It is understood that some arrangements `re in ro rasa Nilth ktilnQ deo4e the v4414 . _ queltiou of • A Fl? a CAS WITH BROITE.RS.
