C than that of the able-bodied men, as they old., a-week, instead of three times. They have , • pudding twice, and rice. The longest period of person in the separation ward usually is a week. or con struction of the separation ward is that it is to separate those , who are bad characters, and who are likely to contaminate others by being in the house. We do not look upon it as a punishment ward, but simply as a separation. For punish - went the longest periedl have 'mown a person to be placed there has been eight days, but I have blown an inmate in the ward for eight weeks, but not generally as a punishment. I once kept a man closely confined to that ward for about five months. Ile had had four months' imprisonment for an indecent assault on a young girl. I considered it so heinous a crime, and so likely to create great demoralisation in the house, that I felt it my duty to do so. That man was George Grant, who is now present. The assault was on a girl 12 years of ago. At that time the ward was 60ft. long ; it is now 40ft. long. There was then a yard to it for picking oakum. There is now no yard attached to it. The yard was cut off about two years ago, as it was required by the Midland Railway Company, the lease of the directors having expired. James and Grant had since that no yard to exercise in, and I understood they were to have no liberty of the yard or gfirden of the workhouse. When Grant was ordered to thp separation ward I believe he was taking me dicine, but don't know it for a fact. The superintendent of the ward has a room at the entrance, under the same roof, but does not sleep there, as he complained of its close proxi mity to the dead-house, and the fumes of brinistone arising from the place where clothes are fumigated. Neither Grant nor James ever applied to me for permission to come out of the separation ward between the 29th of March last at any time. James has once discharged himself. An inmate can discharge himself at any time. I do not consider the order of the directors on the 28th March gave me power to re tain the men if they desired their discharge. There is a road of about 10ft. wide between the northern end of the separation ward and the dead-house. But there is a pas sage of 18ft. or 20ft. between the outer door and the en trance to the separation ward. Persons found dead in the parish are usually brought to this dead-house. The sepa ration ward is lighted by skylights, and there are large moveable openings in the roof by " Louvre boards. There are wooden bedsteads and bedding for the inmates of the separation ward. James and Grant occupied their whole time in this ward, and slept there. The medical officer visited Grant since he has been in the separation ward. When persons come into the workhouse I usually put them in the receiving ward ; but if I had intimation from the overseer, and understood he was a bad character, then I should send him to the separation ward. There is a visiting committee of the directors who make a thorough inspection of the house now about once a month. s 8.

Alone worth a special natives with whom, for five-and-twenty years, the settlers have lived in harmony and confidence. Since they defeated, at Montoa, the fanatic rebels who sought to make a descent on the town and settled district of Wanganui in May last, they have been regarded as a sort of militia, provisioned at the expense of the Government and paid for the labour expended in strengthening their pas. Pehi, the leader of the fanatic rebels in that neighbourhood, is a chief of distinction, but has played fast and loose so long that the loyal up-river natives have, on se veral occasions, only been restrained from attacking him by the strict injunction of the magistrate to avoid all aggressive action. Lately he appears to have been so profuse in his challenges and taunts that loyal native blood could 'stand them no longer, however much that of her Majesty's pakeha subjects could regard them with indifference. Under a flag of truce a message was sent to Pehi's pah at Ohou tahi, demanding the abandonment of Pai MaHri and submission to the Queen.. The demand met with a contemptuous negative, and both parties prepared accordingly. Pehi's party attempted a surprise, and four of them were taken, but so desirous were the loyals to prevent bloodshed, that after a remon strance they were set at liberty again. Au advinced position was then taken up by the loyals, the main body being at Jerusalem, and the skirmishing re sulted in a few casualties, one of which was the wounding of an intelligent and attached friendly chief, named John Williams, who shortly after died in the town hospital. On the 24th of February the decisive battle took place, and as the despatch is from a General not to be found in the Army List, and may not appear in the London Gazette, it is quoted entire : Imust be a source of special anx i ety to the Ministry, although it has the advantage of a most able finan cier in Mr. Fitzherbert, the Colonial Treasurer. Happily, however, the cordiality with which the Governor works with his advisers in some measure lessons the difficulty. The expenditure resulting from the late operations in the Waikato and its neighbourhood is still enormous, and must , continue to be so for at least several months to come, in conse quence of the provision that has to be made for the large liabilities which the occupation of that district and Taranaki involves. The introduction into the Auckland province of about 3,000 non-combatant immigrants, who have to be provided with rations and partial work for 12 months, and the pay of about 3,000 military settlers there and at Taranaki for a similar period, involve a monthly outlay of about £60,000. Every effort is being made to cut down the expenditure on these heads, but the good faith of the Government is so far pledged to an ex penditure to this extent that there is no reducing it by a mere stroke of the pen. The previous Ministry looked to the recouping of the whole amount by selling to Australian and local capitalists the confiscated territory, but the present Ministry cannot see their way to such a course at present ; for although the land described as conquered by the General has been confiscated, and that only, yet the sale of any portion over which friendly claims exist, or are alleged to exist, would so complicate matters that financial difficulties are borne with to the utmost rather than pursue a course which they con sider so open to serious objection. To add to the embarrassment instructions are understood to have been received from home to charge the rationing of the military settlers on the colony, as well as the pay and rationing of the militia, bushranging corps, cavalry, &c., raised for the service of the General in any campaign. The colony is willing that these charges shall be carried to account, but the Home Government insist on their being settled month by month. This the colony cannot do while its loans are incapable of being floated, and the Governor (impressed with the knowledge of the sacrifices the colony is making under very great difficulties) has taken upon himself the responsibility of temporarily supplying the actual outlay on these rationing and militia objects out of the commissariat chest ; the colony, meanwhile, remitting to the Imperial Go vernment half a million of its 4 per cent. deben tures to clear off the debt already long due for sundry advances and charges in former years. There is one way by which the colony might grope its way out of its financial darkness without being utterly crushed, and I cannot help thinking, from the struggles which the colony has made and is making honourably to bear its burdens (although imposed as the result of the native policy pursued by successive Governors under Imperial instruc tions), the House of Commons might bit induced to guarantee the debentures still unnegotiated. The Parliamentary guarantee of 1864 on one million has not been acted on, mainly because it required that the waste lands should be pledged in security--a security which years ago was handed over to the various provinces for their local wants, and already pledged on behalf of the various loans raised by several of the Provincial Governments. If the Parliamentary guarantee of last year could be mo dified and extended to the debentures on hand, say a million and a half, it would not merely save the colony a large annual item by the reduction of in terest, but it would provide the colony with the means of breathing freely without practically in curring a shilling of expense to the Home Govern ment; and while the effects of this guarantee would materially tend to place the colonists in a position to maintain the sufficient defence necessarily required to keep the peace after so many years of war, it would help to liberate the British taxpayer from an expenditure for troops, say, in round numbers, of a million annually. The necessity for making such an appeal to the generosity of the. British Parliament is taking hold of our leading statesmen, and I think it probable that it may before long assume a definite shape. The growin ,, dispcsition that prevails to liberate the Imperial troops, over whom the Colonial Government have no control, and to depend entirely on a few locally-raised regiments the movements of which they can direct —the depreciation of our se curities in every money-market owing to the little faith that is placed in the ability of the commander to bring the war to a speedy close, and the manifest desire which the Colonial Government evinces to keep faith with the Home Government, and to avoid further complications by a hurried recouping of the confiscated estates at their disposal, exhibit the colony as worthy of being helped by the parent State, which is, to a large extent at any rate, responsible for the native policy which has brought it into its present position. Some extensive goldfields have been discovered in that portion of the Canterbury province which is on the west coast. A great rush has set in thither, hut it is too early to speak positively of its con tinued richness. REMEMBER, YOU WILL SEE YOUR FRIENDS at " EVANS'. " After the Opera we abhll Sup there!

By DETECTOR. For notices of this startling work see the "Saturtla Re view" of April 1, entitled " Quacks and Quackery ;" the "Weekly aspatch" of April 9, "The Quacks and their Crimes ;" "The Sun" of April 12, " 'Detector's' Broadside on Quacks and Quackery." GUIDE TO THE QUACKS or LONDON. A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " Medical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau- . dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which " Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. "Punch's" contemporaries, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these miscreants. with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them. needful to be known, will be found in the pamphl , t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks ant Quackery." and is to be had at the "Medical Circular" Office, 20. King William-street, Strand, W.C. The vile practices, the monstrous .impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gains of the obscene tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation of suicide, are Hilly set forth in "Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the names of the Quacks ate published. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory, by consulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wishes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." Its contents will astonish and amuse you, while they invoke your indignation and disgust. 01 course you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint, anoe is large. " Who are tne Quacks that 'Punch' means ?" Consider what it is to be able to answer this question of the young and inexperienced, and, for charity's sake, if for no other, go and provide yourself with "Revelations of Quacks and Quackery," by Detector.—Punch, April 12.

Never heard any one complain of the use of that ward as a work-room. It was discontinued as a work-room up to about Lady-day last. It was discontinued by order of the board, and about the same time I received the order for the confinement of Grant and yourself. I inferred that I was so to dispose of the room to' place Grant and James therein, and re-establish it as a se paration ward. I believe Grant and James went into the ward alone. SECRETARY. B. A.

Determined not to attack the natives in the Wareroa pah, on the banks of the Waitotara river, the General made a stealthy night march on the sth of February, and, of course, crossed it without opposition ; the natives never dreaming that so large a force of men, whose sole business was to fight, would decline their chal lenge. On the 16th of the same month the troops made another night march, avoiding the inland route as far as possible, and after toiling along the soft sand on the sea coast arrived at Patea at nine o'clock a.m. without seeing or hearing a native, friendly or rebel. 'This night march to Patea, a distance of 15 or 16 miles, is all there is to show for the past month. Occasionally, a few natives are seen, but they are in such small parties as only to be able to fire a few defiant shots when safely out of the range of our rifles. The Wareroa pah is still occupied, and the fact that it is so is a constant source of anxiety to the few posts along the line, keeping the troops perpetually on the alert, and necessitating the e m pl oymen t o f s t rong escor t s . What to do n ex t th e General does not know. To return to Wa nganu i would be to neutralise any good that may h ave been done, and his caution prevents his go i ng on. On the 3d inst. the Gover nor paid a flyi ng visit to the General quarters, landing from th e E sk in one of the Commissar i at tenders. N o t w i t h standing that reinforcements of 600 to 700 men have arrived from the north, it is understood that the General considers the 4,000 men immediately under his orders insufficient for the prosecution of the campaign, and has therefore urged his Excellency to apply for 2,000 addi tional troops from England. Colonel Warre's intended movement from Taranaki (with a view to meeting the General at Patea) has been countermanded, and his force diminished, and at present the whole campaign is hung up, the General either waiting for the weather, for further reinforce ments, or for something else that few know but him self. A corps of bushrangers and some cavalry are being organized from among the settlers in Wan ganui and Taranaki for service at Patea, most of the militia being still posted in redoubts far away from their homes and avocations. The Governor, acting on the advice of his Ministers no less than on his own conviction, is reported to have peremptorily re fused to apply for the reinforcements requested, and to have urged the General to accelerate his move ments and open up a chain of communication as far as Taranaki without further delay. In two months more the Assembly will be called together, and the Governor is no less anxious than his Ministers to be able to meet that body with a little better grace than present circumstances seem to warrant, as otherwise the colony will be so sick and tired of the whole affair that the daily growing conviction that a small force over whom the colony has control is infinitely preferable to the large, costly, and inde pendent assume force acting under ;Imperial instructions shape.will er I feel e xcee di ng ly loath to pursue this subject. General Came r o n h a s an European reputation, but, however fitted for the a prominent style of warfare to which his long lifetime has been devoted, the stern logic of experience proves that he is not the man for such warfare as he is now en gaged in. His advanced age, if it does not dull the power to conceive, prevents him from adopting movements that require the energy of a younger frame personally to carry out, and if this wretched war is ever to be thoroughly crushed, if the British power is speedily to regain its prestige, the task of doing so will have to be intrusted to other guidance. While the British force is inactive, and exhibiting to the rebels a position that fills them alike with wonder and contempt, our native allies have again signalized themselves. I have on a previous occa sion expressed the fear lest the fanatic rebels should turn their attention to the settled districts. The Wanganui River has been and still is the great bar rier preventing it. For 70 miles beyond the town ship it has been long guarded by loyal nativearrby It would be a pity to spoil the simplicity, modesty, and brevity of this unique despatch. It contains no list of names deserving of honourable mention to her Majesty for the part they took on the occasion, an omission which, it is to be hoped, others more accustomed to that character of despatch writing will be found ready to supply. Fifteen of the rebels were killed, and it was at first supposed that there were 80 taken prisoners. General Mete Kingi saved us, however, all chance of another imbroglio such as that which occurred in the north. The same feeling of chivalry which induced him to plead with Dr. Featherston for the release of the pri soners taken at Montoa, although ovens had been built to cook himself and followers had they been vanquished, led him to resolve in this instance to avoid inflicting the degradation of captivity, and on Pehi and his people agreeing to give up their arms and swear allegiance they were treated as having capitulated on those terms, and allowed to remain without further molestation. These loyal natives were anxious last May to sweep the coast as far as Taranaki, but it was not allowed because of its interference with the General's plans, and they are again anxious to do so, naively proposing that the duties of the troops should be confined to guard ing the town. The effect of this victory cannot be overrated. It sets the minds of the settlers in the rear of the river at rest, as it is by no means likely that any second attempt will be made to force it yet awhile. John Williams was buried on the 27th of February with military honours. On the 3d of March the ceremony of delivering up the captured guns to the Hon. Mr. Mantel, the Native Minister, took place ; and, on the day following, the presen tation of a colour to the victors was attended with much parade, Mrs. Colonel Logan reading the fol lowing address :- 1 " Chiefs and Men of Wanganui,--When the Queen's' soldiers have behaved with greatbravery she presents them with colours as a sign of her approbation, and also that in future battles they may feel that she is present with thsm, when they look upon her flag. When the brave chiefs and men.of Wanganui fought at Montoa to save the lives of European women and children from the hands of fanatics who were maddened by the teaching of a false prophet, we, the ladies of Wanganui, Rangitikei, and Manawatu, deter mined to give them this flag as a proof of our admiration of their noble conduct in our cause, also in memory of those who were killed in that battle. Since then they have fought again for us at Ohoutahi, and a brave chief has fallen, over whose body we .were proud to see our flag wave for the first time ; and we believe that, coming from its grave, it will be to you, Maori chiefs, doubly sacred ; and you will hand down to your children's children the flag of our Queen, which was laid over the body of John Williams.--God save the Queen !" Sir George Grey, beingfortunately in Wellington, went up to Wanganui on the sth inst., and on send ing up the river for Pehi, that chief came and deli vered Maori tokens of submission, having in the meantime given practical proof of his present sin cerity by turning back a contingent from Taupo sent to his assistance. This is not the only act for which we are indebted to the friendly natives, those near Tauranga having captured a party of about 30 fanatics. Nothing of any moment has occurred in the neighbourhood of Waikato, but the telegram of Thompson's submis sion, to which I so guardedly alluded last month, turns out to be premature. In consequence of the absolute quiet northwards the Governor has visited Wellington, where his ministry have been waiting for several weeks. His Excellency is at present in Wanganui, but after returning to Auckland for two or three weeks to set going the machinery for inves tigating the titles of friendly natives to portions of the confiscated blocks in Waikato, he intends re turning to Wellington to take up his permanent official abode. I am happy to say that the most perfect understanding prevails between the Gover nor and his ministry on all points. And here I may very briefly allude to a rumour which is said to have been current in London when the last (December) mail left—that General Cameron was to be appointed Governor Grey's suc cessor. The colony would be very glad to see a change of governors, and it seems to be admitted on all hands that Governor Grey's work here is done ; but the change to General Cameron would be a change for the worse. If the experience of a colonist who has lived under every governor New Zealand has had is of any worth, it is decidedly opposed to making either a naval or military com mander our governor at this crisis. Neither the quarterdeck nor the camp is a fit school for governors who are required to combine the dele gated authority of the Imperial Government with the desire to work responsible institutions. A rough-and-ready commander is wanted for the field, but a civilian of honourable tact is wanted for the iceregal representative. Sir Harry Smith's boot kissing and tearing of treaties are not the model to be copied in reference to conquered rebels in New Zealand, but it would be the model which a Governor of the quarter-deck rough-and-ready school would be most likely to adopt. I regret to state that the attempts which have been made in Australia and New Zealand to raise money by Exchequer-bills has so far proved a failure, the amounts tendered for at par being small, notwithstanding that the interest is 8 per cent., capitalists pleading, as their reason for having so little to do with these securities, the.prolongatio.n of hostilities which the slow movements of the General I lead them to anticipate. The finances of the Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Pernall, metro politan poor-law inspector, opened an inquiry as to certain allegations which had been made by a pauper named George Grant, in a letter addressed by him to the sitting magistrate at Clerkenwell Police-court, in which he charged the authorities of St. Pancras with having incarcerated him in the separation ward for several weeks to the great detri ment of his health. A special board of directors of the poor had been sum moned to meet at the Vestry-hall, in which the inquiry took place, Mr. Churchwarden Robson in the chair, and which was very fully attended. Mr. W. D. Cooper, solicitor to the parish, and Mr. Plaw, clerk to the board, were also present. - Mr. Farnall, having taken his seat by the side of the chairman, said he was instructed by the Poor-Law Board to make this inquiry, in consequence of their having re ceived a letter from Mr.D'Eyncourt, the sitting magistrate at Clerkenwell Police-court, and he was most anxious to have the assistance of the board in this inquiry. George Grant, who had made the complaint, as also an inmate named Henry James, who had written a similar letter to the Poor-Law Board, were both present, and, hav ing been sworn, had their letters read over to them by the inspector. The charge was that, between the 29th March and the Ist May, the date of the letters, they had been incarcerated in the separation ward, and that for 33 consecutive days Grant had not been allowed to approach within some distance of the door of his place of confine ment. Being but a few yards from the dead-house, they described the stench as frightful, and they had also to suffer from the stench of a closet and urinal, &c.l Mr. Morrison, master of St. Pancras workhouse, was first examined, and said—l have been four years master of the workhouse. I have heard the letters read over which have been written by James and Grant. They have alwaysbeen in the workhouse, or nearly so, since I have been there— Grant continually. Grant had lost his right hand by some machinery before I came there. Had never had to confine Grant for any misconduct. James's conduct in the house had been unexceptionable. He has short sight and weak eyes. I recollect receiving an order of the board directing that the inmates Grey, Grant, and James should be only employed in the separation ward. That was dated 28th March last. I carried that order out as soon as I could, and they were placed in the separation ward. I understand the separation ward to be the refractory ward, where refrac torymenmaylba workhouse. had suppose I had a lmowledge of the cause for whichJa t me r s n d k n e o p t t inreported separation these from men Grant were put in the separation war d, which was, atthe trust. I had directors did not consider them wor th y of re ported Grant some time before this for an alle g ed rob bery upon another inmate. James was in the same p osi tion, as there refractory. rest t h o o f yI the inasmuch as he was in comp an y with Grant wh en this alleged robbery took place. More than six week s previously it became known that an inmate nam e d Samuel Chosold was in possession of some £5 or £6 of money, an d Grant undertook to take care of it, and on he and James going out one Sunday to the services at St. Paul's Cathedral, Grant alleged that his coat-pocket, in which he had kept the money, had been cut away, and he lost it. I felt my self bound, when I received it under the circumstances, that I was compelled to carry out this order. Since I have been master of the workhouse I have never been supplied with any regulations of the Poor-law Board. Ido not know of their existence in the parish. I do not know of an y orders issued from the Poor-law Board to this parish in the year 1856, which, as to punishment of paupers, directed that inmates may be punished by the directors or by the master. Amongst others they can be punished, Mr. Farnall stated, for robbery, or suspicion of robbery. The Inspector here read the list of things which are con . - sidered disorderly or refractory under the regulations of the Poor-law Board, and the mode of punishment to which they may be subjected. Evidence continued—The dietary is wholly under the supervision of the medical officer where he thinks any alter ation necessary. The dietary of the separation Ward is less By Directors of the Poor—l don't say the separation wards were re-created for the purpose of incarcerating James and Grant. Received no order from the house com mittee to employ these men in carrying coals. Grant could not do so. Received an order on the 14th February that Grant was no longer to be employed as a messenger, or be allowed about the house ; and I therefore sent him to the Able men's ward, and told him not to leave it. This al leged robbery came out while Grant was :an inmate of the able-bodied men's ward. It was found that the amount lost was between £5 and £6, and when the directors investigated it, it was found the offence had been condoned, and that Grant had agreed to pay Clissold so much a week, and that 6d. or ls. had actually been paid. I believe it was the knowledge of the offence being condoned by the parties which induced the directors to abstain from prosecuting Grant. The directors remonstrated with me about the matron employing Grant about the house. It was the con tinuance of such employment, I believe, that induced the directors to adopt the stringent order that both Grant and James should be placed in the separation ward. Mr. Farnall read an extract from a letter which James had sent to the Poor-law Board, in which ho charged Mr. J. It. Collins, a director, with calling him a miscreant, to which Mr. Collins replied that he had no recollection of using such an expression, although he fully believed that James and Grant were guilty of the robbery, as they were seen spending money, and Grant came home drunk that night. Mr. John Roberts examined—l am surgeon of the St Pancras Workhouse. I know George Grant, and also the separation wards of the St. Pancras Workhouse. lam not aware of any medical book being kept such as that shown to me by you in the form prescribed by the regulations of the Poor-law Board. Grant was not under my hands for medical treatment before he went to the separation ward. I treated him after he went there for bronchitis. I sawno reason, from either the character of that ward or the state of his malady, for a medical man to interfere. He never complained to me of the ward in any way. I was aware of the amount of diet he required. I considered it sufficient, but I ordered him tea instead of gruel. The dietary of the separate ward is 6oz. of meat every Sunday. They have eight slices of bread and a pint of milk porridge daily. On Monday, for dinner a pint of pea-soup, and Boz. of bread for supper. On Tuesday, for dinner 12oz. suet pudding. I consider the dietary sufficient as laid down by the dietary t o sanatorytreeuanindead-house h I under table, as it is for those who are in t hat ward fo r punish ment. It is a lower diet. Mr. Farnall—There is n o ri g ht in work houses to put people on a lower diet for p unishment except beyond a cer rt theei separation ot eonsidei • in cer tain number of hours.

Ido not re member any of th e di rec t ors spea ki ng t o me a b out Grant, t was rafmstateththe hput oe of e a fl li do but I said to one on April 28 that I thought it would be well to remove Grant, as I thought his health would suffer. I meant that he should have open air and exercise, as I noticed he looked paler that day. I told Grant I had recommended that he might be allowed to go out. On May 1 Grant came to me, but did not look so pallid, but the next day an order was given by the directors that he should have open air and exercise if I thought he required it. I knew he had then written to the magistrate, and next day I gave instructions that Grant was to go out for exercise morning and evening, most convenient to the master. I did not then think him to be any worse, but I thought it better to let him out as a. precautionary measure. I consider I have the fullest power to order in such cases on my own authority. James was not included in that order. As a medical man Ido not think such confinement is right. Neither of them complained. to me nor to the superintendent of the ward. By Henry James—l have examined the separation ward, but did not test the atmosphere. I have been so frequently in that ward that lam a judge of the condit i o n of it. Igo oftener if any ono wants me. Windows in the walls of a. room would improve the ventilation. By a Member of the Board—My attention was directed to Grant on account of his being unwell. I did not attend anyone else in the ward. I have power to order any amount or description of diet I consider necessary for inmates at any time, and I have never on any occasion been called to account or complained of for doing so. The inquiry was then adjourned till Thursday next. ,- " of if Al ,Ol )f a "4 of l' i° S; , a,.,3 jy, of llt C°llir p -- ft , If° the s'l 0 11 ' St tfor ill, t0,,10, of ;tali, - tlw gear: betbi ' a gor ay as , ty. s.g`i ooto - re Cul° 3 eorg" ii,e, 5(1.7 5 , erBl TYlee" _.... ici% B( ' l' rl i .lo 11 0 1 600" The Directors have decided to issue Debenture Bonds of the Company for the amounts and bearing interest as under, viz. ln sums of ZlO, £2O, £5O, £lOO, V5O, £5OO, and £ , ,00 1 , with coupons attached.
