MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGNNOE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market to-day has opened very qutetl y, and the rates remain without the slightest variation. There were no gold operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The return of the Bank of France shows the following alterations, when compared with that of the previous week. The notes have increased £290,000, the cash £106,640, and the Treasury balance £60,000; while the current accounts have decreased £276,000, commercial bills £21,640, and the advances £4,000. The following is the Bankers' Clearing-house return : Thursday £9,749,000 Friday 10,862,000 Saturday 12,413,000 Monday Tuesday Wednesday 8,140.000 £59,704,000 With regard to the corn market at Birmingham, Mr. Cave states as follows :—The crops generally exhibit a greatly improved appearance. Wheat trade has continued in the same lifeless state as reported last week; this is to be accounted for by the dull, discouraging state of the flour trade, owing to an increased supply of vegetables at this period to com pete with bread, and to the naturally decreased Consumption of food in hot weather. Foreign arri 'vals are again considerable, but millers and bakers are known to be generally very short of stock. ° lir market to-day partook of quite a holiday cha racter, the fair and the horse show having more at tractions than a miserably dull market. In the absence of any pressure to sell prices remain no minally as last quoted. Fine red, 665. to 68s. ; c ommon, 58s. to 625. ; white, 68s. to 725. ; all per qr Of 4961b5. Foreign wheat, being now relatively c heaper than English, found a few buyers in retail at a reduction of Is. to 2s per qr. on Chilian. The report of the St. John Del Rey Mining Com- P a lly) to be presented at the meeting on the 27th Instant, states that the net profit on the working of the mines from the 32d March, 1866, to the 23d slarch, 1867, amounted to £112,681, out of which 51 ,867 has been applied to dividend and reserve fund, leaving an available balance of £60,814, from Which the directors would have the satisfaction of rec ommending an increased dividend at the rate of £4 1 0s. per share, free of Income-tax. Messrs. Price, Holyland, and Waterhouse, the Li quidator s of the Bank of Turkey, have issued notice of a general meeting on the 21st instant, thatand also a report of their proceedings. They state there is a balance of cash in hand amounting to £ 5 ,865, but until the result of the suit in Chan -ell is adjusted a further return cannot be made. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets du ring the last few days there has been a moderate am ount of business entered into. Sugars have 1 41 Y maintained previous rates, while the public a les of tea have concluded without any material ch ange being established in values. Coffee has rem ained at steady prices, while in tallow the ope rations have been on too limited a scale to cause a ny material change in quotations. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures rem ain A c. steady at 31 33, and the Consolidated Mor tgage Bonds at 24} 25i. The traffi c rece ipt s on the Atl a ntic a n d Great Western Railway for the third week in May corr esponding to $117,668, against $117,308 in the week last year, showing an increase ()f $ 3 60. The Bank of England return completed to the 12t h A instant is again of a very satisfactory character. 1) s regards th e s t reng th o f the establishment the liltlon has been increased by £376,074, and there ; , 7 46 an augmentation in the reserve of notes of 06 ,835 ; the other securities show a dim inution „ I rt £ 22 3479, while a large increase is perceptible 41 th e public deposits by the active collection of t h e 1. 1 ,- , er ve.

(Before the Recorder.) THE TAILORS' STRIKE. William Jelley and John Hall were indicted for unlawfully combining, confederating, and agreeing together, with divers others, to force by means of threats and molestation one Margaret Rattenbury, a person employed in the business of a tailor, to depart from her employment, hiring, and work. Sergeant Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Keene, Q.C., was for the defence. The Learned Sergeant, in his opening address to the jury, said they were probably aware that in former times persons were not allowed to combine together to raise the rate of wages. So far back, however, as 1825 an act was passed which provided that it was not illegal to combine together to effect that object ; but it also provided that if any person should, by violence, or threats, or by intimidation, molestation, or obstruction, endeavour to force another person to depart from his work, or from accepting work or employment, he should be guilty of an offence punishable with imprisonment. Doubts were afterwards entertained as to what was a molesting within the meaning of that statute, and in 1859 an Act was passed according to which it was perfectly clear that any person had a right to refuse to work for any wages that might be offered, and had also a right to combine with others not to work, and to persuade others to abstain from working. All that was perfectly lawful, but what was not lawful was the preventing others from working, if they pleased, by threats or intimidation. The person so threatened and molested by the prisoners was a tailoress named .largaret Rattenbury, and she was in the employ of Mr. Bowater, one of the masters, whose hands had taken part in the strike. The prosecutrix was met by the prisoners, after receiving work from Air. Bowater, and after persuasion had proved abortive they told her it would be worse for her in the long run if she did not refuse to work for one who had refused to agree to the demand of their men for an increase of wages. The evidence was given at length in The Sun on the occasion of the examination, and committal of the prisoners for trial by Mr. Knox, at the Marl borough-street police-court. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. (Before the Common Sergeant). Robert George Dean, traveller, was indicted for embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer, James Anderson. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. ekttirEILENCIC atiAltEb. Great Western, Orig. 44 per cent., 80 LINES LEASED kT FIXED LIENTALB.

JAMES'S HALL.—A match took place on Wednesday at the above hall, which, as usual, was well filled, the contestants being W. Dufton and J. Bennett., the, former receiving 200 out of 1,000, for £lOO a-side. Dufton led off, and in a short time he went in for a break of 56; when the latter was 470 Bennett was 230, so that Dufton had 240 to the good. Bennett now began t) gain on his opponent, and he put together 26, and he shortly made his score 300 to Dufton's 494. He had then a break of 27 ; in a short time the marker called the game Dufton, 512 ; Bennett, 403 ; from 441 Bennett ran on to 495, by a fine break of 53, at the end of which he was loudly applauded—Dufton being 537. The latter, from 552, ran on to 576 by a break of a couple * Of dozen. Ben nett now stood in, and lie made 37, so that Dufton was only 27 in advance. The latter got in, but was unfortu nate, and Bennett got to 564, when ho missed. Dufton put together a fine break of 48, and he stood at 624 to 564, and there were offers to take 6to 4 about Dufton winning Bennett now took a decided lead, his score being 670 to his adversary's 643 ; the former, after-some excellent play, was 739 to Dufton's 711. Then the latter, however, began to creep up, and soon got to 912 ; but here Bennett made two splendid breaks of 26 and 31, and ultimately won the match. the courEe of exchange at New York on London forbills at 50 days' sight is about 110 per cent. At this rate there is a :qui 1 profit on the imi citation of gold from the. United State% LAM INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) FORTH V. FORTH. The Queen's Advocate and Mr. Cooper for the petitioner. _ _ _ - The petitioner in this case was Mr. Charles Forth, a Baptist minister and registrar of births and deaths at Basford, near Nottingham. He sued for a separation on the ground of his wife's cruelty, and she pleaded a counter allegation to the same effect. The parties had been married several years, and had had six children, of whom five survived. The petitioner had also a son and daughter by a former wife. He charged the respondent with great harshness to her step-children, with in cessant quarrelling, and with numerous acts of vio lence, the details of which he gave at considerable length. Her conduct was such that his deacon had requested her to withdraw from the church. So much scandal had, however, been created that he had felt obliged to resign his pastorate. He had originally received a salary of £125 a year for the chapel, but he had been compelled to ask one of his deacons from whom he had derived fully a third of it to resign. At present he had nothing to live on but about £7O derived from his registrarship and an agency to au insurance office. He was corroborated by several witnesses. On the other hand, the respondent,. who gave her evidence with astounding volubility, denied a great part of her husband's story, and explained the rest of it away, protesting, in addition, that he was guilty of gross harshness and violence to her and to her children. Mr. Mortby said he was a surgeon at Basford, He first attended Mrs. Forth in 1858. He attended her last in 1860. He could not say much of the petitioner's conduct to his , wife, for he seldom saw him with her. She was suffering from a disease which precluded her from saying much about any thing, Mrs. Wingrove said that she kept a shop at Bas ford, and had several conversations with Mr. Forth relative to Mrs. Forth. She 'considered that Mr. Forth behaved badly to her. Cross-examined—She was unfriendly to Mr. Forth. She had asked him once whether his wife behaved better to Jemima Ann. She thought she neglected the girl, and did not wish her to go to school. Ann Daft said that she had several conversations with Mr. Forth, and he had said that she was a " wretch," and that he would strangle her. She would often ask whether Mr. Forth was kinder to the children, and he said that he had sent Minnie to school at Grantham, and that he would teach Frederick to kick her shins. Ann Purschrub had been servant to the petitioner in 1863, and remained there three months. lie had called her a base lying woman to her. A monthly nurse gave similar testimony. The petitioner contradicted the evidence of the last witnesses. Dr. Spinks said that this was a most extraordi nary case, and more singular than any perhaps that had come before that Court, for it appeared that the parties actually lived in the same home up to the present moment. If it had been a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights, the Court would ❑ot entertain the suit. Ile now contended that by the evidence it was fully shown that the husband was not in any way afraid of his wife, nor in fear of violence. The fact was that he wanted to get rid of the step-mother of his children and not his wife The dwelling in the same house surely would induce the court to dismiss the petition. Sir Robert Phillimore having summed up for the petitioner, The Judge-Ordinary, after having elaborately summed up the evidence, pronounced a decree for a judicial separation ou the part of the husband. POLICE INTELLIGEHCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SPORTING BEGGAR.—Theruas Warwick, a rough looking boy about 13 years of age, was charged before Mr Knox with begging. Francis All;Jood, 186 C, proved seeing the boy begging in South Auclley-street, and receive money, and he then took hint into custody. At the station a sixpence was found upon him, and a book called " The Adventures and Career of Tom Galloway, the Boy Jockey," and also the programme of a St. Leger sweep. The boy said he bad been to the races, and was coming home when the constable took him into custody. Mr. Knox asked the boy whether his friends were living. _ The boy said they were. Mr. Knot said he should remand the Loy for the attend ance of his friends, at the same time remarking that the boy appeared to b 3 begging in order to speculate in horse races. THE REFORM BILL.

THAMES. THOROUGHLY ASHAMED OF lIIMSEEE. John Cadman, who was also called Cadamy, a portly, middle-aged man, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, and assaulting Police-constable No. 396 K. Last night the prisoner was found lying on the foot path in the East India-road, helplessly intoxicated. A policeman aroused him and t o ld hi m t o g o home. The prisoner was unable to stand or walk, and the constable marched him off to the station-house. The prisoner was violent and abusive, and struck the policeman. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he bad done. He took too much drink last night—it overpowered him. Mr. Paget—What are you ? Prisoner—A master mariner. Mr. Paget—Of what ship are you master ? Prisoner—Of a schooner down the river. Mr. Paget —You have men under your command. What control can you have over them when they learn, as they will do most probably, that you have been charged with being helplessly drunk. The prisoner, who was very restless in the dock, said— " I am thoroughly ashamed of myself." Mr. Paget—So you ought to be. You are fined 40s. The prisoner paid the fine directly. - .._ CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-110MaSLansby, a youth iu the service of Mr. Memos Barrer, wine cooper, 35, Minories, was charged at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with working one of his master's horses in an unfit condition. The prisoner was driving a horse and cart, with a hogs head of wine. Tho animal was suffering much, and there was a sore on the near shoulder as largo as a five shilling p i ec e. The collar pressed against the wound, and the horse was in great agony. The prisoner said the warm weather affected the horse, and that the for3man o. his master's stables did not know the horse was in the condition represented. Thomas Walton, 352 K, an ()Meet of the court, said the horse was. not fit to be worked. The wound was an old one, and the warm weather had nothing to do with it at all. The prisoner's master said afterwards, in his favour, he took the horse out, knowing no better. The Magistrate said the horse must not be worked any longer in its present condition. He find the prisoner 10s., which his master ought to pay. Mr. Barrer paid the fine. CUSTOMS OFFICERS AND REFORM.—By an old act of Parliament passed in the reign of George 111. cus tom-house officials aro not permitted to take part in the election of members of Parliament, a disability which does not attach to those employed in many other departments of the public servic3. This invidious distinction has long excited the antagonism of nutherous employes in our cus toms' service, and at their request Sir Harry Verney has given notice of a clause in the new Reform Bill to repeal the old act above mentioned. Sir IL Verney has received strong promises of support from both sides of the house, and the following letter has been received from Mr. John Bright, to whom the customs committee had written : "Rochdale, Juno 10, 1867.—llear Sirs,—l have received many letters and memorials on the subject to which you refer, and to which I have not thought it needful to return any answer. I read them, and the subject is not forgotten, but the pressure of my correspondence is often such that I save myself from the labour of a reply when I can properly do so. I cannot pledge myself to your friends as to the course I shall take bathe house, but I am disposed to think that the votea of officers of the customs departments should be allowed, or the exclusion should be carried into other departments to which it has not yet.been applied.—l ani, &c.—JOHN ButoHT.” Loss OF A STEAMER AT SEA. —Captain Roach, of the screw steamer Prince, Which has just arrived 'at Hull from the Baltic, reports that Ivhile at sea, tho Dud geon light bearing S.E. by E. distant abOnt seven Miles, he passed a sunken vessel, supposed to be a steamer, with three pole masts, about fiffeeu - feet out of water. The name of the vessel is at present unknown, nor was the captain able .to form any idea as to whether it was an English or foreign. vessel. . . •. .• IMPERIAL PARMA lIENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THis Dar. The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. VACCINATION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. [ LEFT SITTING:I Combinat'ons by Workmen. (From the Solicitors' Journal.) The law with respect to combinations by work men stands at present in a position so uncertain and anomalous that we are justified in again c dling attention to it with particular reference to the case of " Skinner v. Kith" recently decided in the Queen's Bench, and reported in the current num ber of the lVeekly Reporter. That case has been rather erroneously viewed as an original authority deciding that an intimation of an intention to strike with the view of influencing the master was a threat within the statute 6 Geo. IV. c. 129, s. 3. The. Court indeed held this, but as long ago as the case of " Walsby v. Anley," 9 W. R. 271, it had been held that a threat made by a workman, in conjunc with others, that they would all cease work imme diately unless the master discharged certain other workmen who were in his employ under particular terms, was a threat of car rying out an unlawful combination, and was, therefore, a threat within the Gth Geo. IV c. 129, s. 3, which makes it unlawful by threats to. endeavour to force a master to limit the description of his workmen. The next case, " O'Neil v. Long man," 11 W. R. 947, puts the matter in a still plainer light as to its being sufficient to bring the case within the statute if there be a threat to carry out some unlawful purpose, not of necessity a, threat of violence. It is not our intention to go into the question whether on the words of the statute this interpretation was right. The matter having been decided by the Court of Queen's Bench, arid there, being no appeal, we must take the law to be as laid down in the first-mentioned - case, and content ourselves with showing what are the effects it. It should be observed that in these cases the only point was threat or no threat within the meaning of the statute, but in the next case that arose, " Shelbourne v. Oliver," it be came incidentally a matter of interest whether a combination to strike against a particular workman, which according to the first case was a threat came within the latter part of the section as an attempt to limit the description of the workmen em ployed by the master. The facts there were briefly that the workmen of the respondent had all struck, with the exception of one man of the name of James. They agreed to return, and did so, but on finding James there they again gave over work. The leader of a deputation to the master told him that James should not work, and that unless he was discharged the other men should not be allowed to work. On the authority of " Walsby v. Anley" the conviction was sustained, though in that case the question of description does not appear to have been raised. " Shelbourne v. Oliver" cannot, in fact, be distin guished from " Skinner v. Kitch," which may there fore be taken as re-affirming the principle that the term " description of workman" may be read apart from the other words of the section, and taken to mean not a description derived from the distinctive part of the trade which' the particular workman carries on, but in a much wider sense a personal description —as, for instance, whe ther he belongs, or does not belong, to a particular society ; whether he is English, Scotch, or Belgian ; whether he has red hair or the like. The law on the subject is thus reduced to this singular con dition :—A workman may decline to work for an employer on the ground that one of his fellow workmen is of a " description" offensive to him ; and he may of course inform his master to that ef fect. In other words, one workman may strike on these grounds, the question of his success in the strike not entering into the discussion, but depend. ing on other considerations, such as the compara tive value to the employer of the workman striking and the one struck against. It is clear that what one may do any number may do inde pendently; but whether a combination is legal or illegal is a point about which it is im possible, on the conflicting decisions, to give• a de cisive opinion. This, however, is perfectly clear, on the authorities, that whether workmen may or may not combine to do what one may do with im punity, at least they 'must be very careful how they inform the master of their combination and its ob jects. A check is thus put on any attempt to settle a dispute on such a subject. Directly those who are not, and indeed practically cannot be, punished for combining and striking, open their mouths to explain the grievance that has induced them to take the step, they may at once become liable to all the consequences of threatening. There is, it is true, a limitation established by the case of " Wood v. Bouron," 15 W. R: 58. In that case men struck in :accordance -with a resolution of a society to which they belonged, and in answer to the employer the resolution was communicated to him. It was held that, in the absence of any evidence to show that the letter communicating the resolution, though appirently an explanation, was in fact meant as a threat, a con viction could not be sustained. In other words, a subtle distinction must be taken between an expla nation of the reasons that have influenced the men in answer to inquiries from the master and a spon taneous communication to him of these very same reasons ; or else the cases must mean that there is some difference between explaining reasons for doing a future and having done a past act. No other meaning, we venture to say, can be attached to these cases, unless they are to be taken as in direct conflict., and whichever view is taken, it is obvious that great hindrances are thrown in the way of explanation, which is the first step to settlement of differences. It is also evident that great responsibility is thrown on magi strates in determining the nice question of the dif ference between an explanation of the motive to strike, accompanied by a statement that a strike will be carried out; and the like explanation with a threat that the strike will be carried out. We can only, in conclusion, recommend a perusal of these cases to the members of the. Commission now sitting, and express a hope that, by the united wisdom of Parliament, some remedy may be found fora state of things so uncertain, and, at the same time, so prejudicial to the interests of working men find i masters alike.

A portion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday : THE SLADE BARONETCY CASE. This morning the Barons of the Court of Ex chequer gave judgment in the case of " Sir Marcus John Slade, Bart., v. Alfred Frederick Adolphus Slade, who appeared as Sir Alfred Fredk. Adolphus Slade, Bart." The epitomised narrative of facts shows that the late General Sir John Slade in 1832 settled certain estates on his sons successively for life, with re mainder to their issue in tail male. The elder sons, Henry and Charles, died without issue, and the third son, Frederick William, succeeded under the limi tations of settlement to the estates and title. In 1833 Frederick William Slade was married at St. George's, Hanover-square, to Maria Barbara, the daughter of Mr. Charles Brown Mostyn, of Kidring ton, and had by her several children, of whom Alfred, the present defendant, is the eldest of the sons. In 1863 Sir Frederick Wm. Slade died, and his son Alfred entered into possession of the family estates, and assumed the title of Sir Alfred Slade, Bart. General Marcus Slade, the twin brother of the late Sir Frederick, disputed Sir Alfred's right to both the title ani the property, and commenced an action of ejectment to recover possession of the manor of North Petherton, in the County of Somer set, and certain other lands entailed in the Slade family, and it was agreed that the action should come before the Court in the shape of aspecial case. According to the case of the plaintiff, the mar riage between Sir Frederick Slade and his wife was void, because the lady had previously contracted marriage at Milan, in 1825, with one Baron von Korber, who survived until the year 1853, and it was maintained that that was a valid marriage ac cording to the Austrian law, and consequently that, as Baron von Korber was alive at the time when his wife married Sir Frederick Sade, the second mar riage was bigamous and void, and the issue of it, including the defendant was illegitimate. On the part of the defendant it was alleged that Lady Slade's marriage at Milan was void by Austrian law, and that she was consequently free to marry again, as she did afterwards iu 1633. Baron Piggott, in delivering his judgment in favour of the plaintiffs, stated that he had care fully weighed all the evidenc3, which had been ably laid before them, and his conclusion was that the first marriage of Lady Slade was perfectly legal, and that the second one was consequently not so. His lordship then very minutely weighed all the points in the case, giving elaborate arguments as to the reason for the decision lie had arrived at. Baron Bramwell, who was of the same opinion, said that they were called on one side to decide whether the second marriage was legitimate, and on the other whether the first marriage was not legitimate. With regard to the first marriage, there was everything about it that would stamp it as legal. Look at the ceremony itself. The bride and bridegroom consented, the bride's mother as sisting and consenting. There were two priests, one belOtaging to the Artillery, to which Korber belonged. They were quite content ; and there was also a lawyer there, who drew up a contract. When, therefore, they quarrelled, and separated, what ground was there for saying ,that the marriage was not legal, but void? Surely no one would say that a French girl, who married with her father's consent while under Age, an Englishman could be put on one side on the ground that the marriage was void. The only argument adduced that required sifting into was the point concerning the banns, and on this they appeared uncertain, but it, even admitting the irregularity, wont for nothing. The learned Baron then went into a long argument as giving his to i the n validy of the marriage, and end ed by g judg ment in favour of the plaintiff. Baron Martin, in delivering his judgment, said that a great deal of doubt appeared to have been thrown on the testimony of Lady Slade (he called her so for the sake of distinction), hut, he thought that it was clearly corroborated by other evidence of a collateral character. It had been stated that she was a perjured woman. If such an expression had been addressed to a jury one would know how to deal with it. His lordship then at great length reviewed the whole of the evidence, and gave his reasons for the decision which he had come to in favour of the defendant. The Lord Chief Baron, in delivering his judg ment, said that he agreed with his brother Martin, and had come to the conclusion, on reviewing all the facts relative to the marriage between Von Korber and Lady Slade, that it was an illegal one. His judgment, therefore, would be for the defen dant. On the withdrawal of the judgment of Baron Piggott, as junior baron, the majority of the judges gave judgment for the defendant.

The following curious list of all the attempts at political assassination that have been made since 1850 will be read with interest after the nefarious attempt last Thursday : The Queen of England.—Queen Victoria can count four attempts on her life. On June 28, 1850, she received a violent blow with a stick from one Robert Plate, a retired lieutenant of the 10th Hussars. The Kings of Prussia.—ln May, 1850, the late King of Prussia received, as he was mounting a railway carriage, a shot from a holster pistol of large bore, in the fore arm ; the assassin, Sefelage, of Wetslow, cried out as he fired, " Liberty for ever !" The life of the present King of Prussia was in dan ger at Baden on the morning of July 14, 1861. Two pistol shots were fired at him by Oscar Becker, a law student at Leipsic. The regicide declared that he wished to kill the King, because he was not cap able of effecting the unity of Germany. The Emperor of Austria.—On February 8, 1853, ' at Vienna, Francis Joseph I. was struck with a knife in the nape of the neck. The murderer's name was Libenny, of Albe, in Hungary, aged 20, resident at Vienna, and a tailor by trade. The Duke of Parma.—On March 20, 1854, Fer dinand Charles 111., Duke of Parma, returning from an excursion, was hustled by a person, who at the same time stabbed him in the ablomen, left the poniard in the wouud, and subs:quantly escaped. The Duke expired in cruel torture in 23 hours. The Queen of Spain (a second attempt).—On 28, 1856, as Queen Isabella was passing in her car riage along the Rue de l'Arseual at Madrid, a young man named R tymonn Fuentes drew a pistol froni his pocket, and would have discharged it at her head had not his arm been caught, and his weapon taken from him by an agent of the police. The King of Naples.-0a December 8, 1856, while Ferdinand 11. was reviewing his troops at Naples, a soldier named AgCSira3 Milano struck him with his bayonet, and at a later period Garibaldi honoured the memory of the regicide. Napoleon 111.--In October, 1852, when Napo leon, who was on the eve of becoming Emperor, was at Marseilles, there had been prepared an infernal machine, formed of 250 gun-barrels charged with 1,500 balls, intended to go off all at once against the Prince and his cortege. But the attempt was not carried out. On the sth July, 1853, a fresh attempt was made to assassinate him as he was going to the Opera Comique. Twelve Frenchmen were arrested as concerned in the conspiracy. On April 28, 1855, Jean Liveraui fired two shots at the Em rptieror 1857,in t T he ib G ai r d an l i7B l a l r v to e 13out'3tio, of the nd G e r i : l a l i mPs CAM E e I Y f s rt e from ..
