IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE 01? COMMONS..--(YEBTERDAY.) The SPRAICER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Ha.lingden Water Bill and the Southport Water Bill were severally read a third time and passed. • Mr. DUFF presented a petition from a place in the north of Ireland against the Bleaching Works Bill. The petition, which was read at length by the clerk at the table, stated that certain petitions that had been presented to the house in favour of the bill had been ob tained by misrepresentation, and prayed for inquiry into the circumstances. Sir W. WEBB prasented several petitions from North Wales in favour of Medical Reform. Sir F. THESIGER presented a petition from Stara.- ford against the Oath of Abjuration Bill. - ' Mr. E. LOCKHART presented a petition from Sel kirk•against the Oath of Abjuration Bill. • -• Mr. M. GIBSON presented a petition from the Man. ch'ester Commercial Association, and also a petition from 165 of the principal firms in Manchester ag4inst the Bleaching Works Bill. Mr. BROTHERTON presented two petitions against; the Maynooth grant. - ROCHESTER ELECTION. • • The following members were chosen to 6erve . on the committee to inquire into the late election for Rochester, viz., Mr. Floyer, Sir H. F. Davy, Mr. J. Smyth, Mr. R. Ingham, and Mr. Byng. . EXPORTATION OF IRON. • 4 Mr. WILSON, in reply to an hon. member,-repeated tate answer he gave on a former occasion with respect . • to -the export of machinery and parts of machinery, but ' with respect to the exportation of munitions of War, he . stated that to-day an order in Council would be:pessed,' . by which all restrictions upon trade and naiigation would: be enti rely removed. ' OATH OF ABJURATION BILL.- l . • - Mr. M. GIBSON then rose to-move the second read . • ing of a bill to abolish the oath of abjuration and as surance; and, in doing so, contended that no - ill could follow such a measure. The measure - was of piecisely the same character as that of-Lord Lyndhursts, 'and had the approbation of that noble lord. The passing of the measure which hcadvocated . would not in the is - lightest degree - interfere with the others now on the statute-book, • but it would be a relief to all classes of her Mijesty's subjects who objected to take- that oath, 'which ' was a political one, and pissed by• Parliament, to beet a . political danger. That danger , no longer existed, and, therefore, he contended that the oath - ought Ito be . abolished. By a single act of Parliament one bendred , and twenty-five useless oaths -had been abalisheel, and , not the slightest inconvenience had ariserein Consequence of such a proceedings He had taken theopinion of a gen .. tlernin learned in the law—not a Parliamentary lie with respect tOthe person's who were called uporetio take the oath of abjuration, and he found that all military officers, all common soldiers, and sailors were called upoil . to take this oath. The only :persons who weee required not to take the oath were those persons in the Custorhsand Excise, who were only required betake the oatteeif alle giance. All schoolmasters were required- to take ,the. (lath of abjuration, and if the law was strictly carried out at the present tirne there 'would not beea single teacher of the Jewish religion—infect, an immense num- . bee- of her Majesty's most faithful :and, loyal subjects would be altorrather 'outlawed. He might be told they passed the Indemnity Act, and by that act yen exempted the great ceetivil, but refused the same ex emption to a member of, Parliement, , Be bad ' been looking over Boswell's ft I.;ife of Johnson," •-nnd he' there found that the profligate persort who frpmed• the oath of abjuration boasted that, he had :framed an oath which would clamnone-half of the population and starve the other._ He maintained that- the oath of - abjuration was utterly ueeleee, ae it was perfeqtl4 cer-. tain that none- of the - descendants . of the Prinbe of Wales' (the Pretender) existed* . 0(3 present•nionlent,' - and it wiis absurd to continue me the statuteloook wich an oath, This Pretepder di . ed in 17 .65„ and- toe, Parliament of that day did. not. continue. aleptring the Pretendeie felt they took out the word " Pretender," and inserted in place: of the- word, "his descendante," - s t now that all the descender - At were dead, it was but proper that the ev - erila," descendants," should . be expunged, as by, doing so the house 'would . only be follo'seinet the strict rule of precedent'. The oath of allegiance arty su preotacy, he coate.nded, wereperfectly eufficienefile the purpose frnewliteh.they were taken, and tier they ware : take_ n it e yeaa etelpe,bly absurd to insist , open the taking of the oath of abjuration, as the whole of the provisions of the eatte e that yits.: tries ht MeceSaaiiby some parties to .retein, was to be f')und in the oath of-allegiance. He had thus gone through the oath, with the eicption of the concluding paragraph, which stated that the oath was to be taken with - lit reservation on the true faith of a Christian. If it was the will of the Parliament that such . Ctill be the declaration, then they must submit to take the oath, but he did hope that the honourable ' member t fur Stamford ; would not say that ,such was the case until he had taken the opinion of Parlia ment that it was intended to impose religious teas: to exclude some portione of her Mejeety's subjects frbrn their civil rights. If it was wished to exclude some par ticular persons from Parliament, he insisted that' it ought to be done by statute, and not rectly e for he insisted that no British eubjct ought to be deprived of his civil rights, except by act of Parliament. (Rear, hear.) The efftet of this oath had been for nine years to keep the city of Lonion, to a certain extent, unrepresented ; but it must not be supposed that by mentioning that cir cumstance be was there as the advocate of Baron R ithschild. He was instigated to pursue the present peurse by his fe liege as an Eaglishman and a member of the British Parliament—(hear, heart--and he for one . would not allow the fig end of, this . oath to debar his "Jewish felloW eubject; from th e ir civil rights. ([dear ) • He trusted he should receive the suppers of some por tion of the Co'ieervative party-in -the house, considering that Lord Der )y and several prelates bad been in favour of the aelmisi tn of tile ; Jew into Parliament. He claimed the' relief the bill afforded those Christian mem bers who felt that it was a desecration to take any oath. It it wes the opinion of the Crown, and a majority of both Houses of Parliament, that members of the Jewish percussion ought to be excluded from this house, ex• eluded they ought to be; but, until that course was adopted, he contended that a great injustice was done to a certain portion of his fellow-subjects, who bre] never by any act of Parliament been excluded from sitting in that house. He concluded by moving the second read ng of the bill. Sir F. THESIGER„ having explained the absence of certain learned members, said it would be quite incon sistent if those like himself who were opposed to mo tions such as the present did not oppose the second reading of this bill for the abolition of the oath of abjti ration. The bill of the hon. member consisted of an assertion and an inference. The assertion was that the de4cersdants of the Pretender were at an end, and there fore the oath of abjuration shoubthe abolished. The oath of abjuration was not merely a renunciation of the claitne of the deeesndents of the Pretender, but it asserted that the Sovereign should be a Protestant. The honourable member, in moving the secon reading of the bill, said he did not appear there as the te`voeete of , Baron Rothschild, and that he had had . no communication with that geeelereare But he (Sir F: Thesiges) begged to ask the right hon. gentleman whee then he had nut been that very day in close conference with a gentleman of. the Jewish persuasion,- holding , high power in the, city c,f London. (Rear, hear.) Now, ho jelled to know what could be the object of that in tervieee whether it related to the doecendante of the Pretender, or to the " fag" end of thcoath, "on the true, faith sf a Christieni. (I.e,uhter, and hear, hear): *The hon. gentleman said he did nut propose to do anything, in an . indirect manner—( uear , h ear )—th e. ,object of the right hon. gentleman was: perfectly, plai n end pelpeble.

It was ' not the intention of the oath of abjuration to , exclude a .person of the.J.ewish peregasion from ParliaMent, and ' if it was intended to !seclude men holding Viet faith front taking - part in their proceediegs, he contended it ought to be done by express act of Parliament, and tot to be' effected by the fag end of an oath of abjuration. He should support the second reading - . of the- bill -on :the ,grounds urged by the right hon, gentleman the member for Manchester.. Mr. NAPIER objected'to thesecond readiTg of the bill, because it ma d e open questions2of2 sacred and con stitutional matters. He certainly 'would not' go the length , of the leatned Lord ' Advocate I in the .extension •of civil - and- religious liberty, -but would stop short at the limit of Christianity.. The noble lord' (.J. Russell), when he brought forward the measure, did, 'so in a far More straightforward - manner 'than the right 'hob. gentleman had done. By the bill of the noble lord . admission to the Legislature' was strictly Confined to the Jews; but the bill ofthe right hon. member for Manches ter wouldopen, the door for admission intatheLegialature of all persons not Christians. He thought the person, who denied the truths of the Christian doctrines ought not to be admitted • into Parliament 'any more than a republican who denied the existence of an earthly cove reign. The latter would most certainl.sebe , decided to be .not qualified,- and:he certainly , thoogheetehat the for mer was not in .a better position. Thee constitution Of this country was allied to Christianity, end there fore the entrance of any persons who were not Christians into the house - was a direct violation Of the Christianity of thecountry. Lord J.. RUSSELL said there -were two points upon. which the house seemed -pretty well. agreed, namely, that it was no longer,necessary to abjure allegiance to the saccessors of James 111., and that part of it witletreepect to the Protestant succession, they all - seemed to agree that. -this part might be retained. He did not quarrel with the oath of , allegiance, and • doubted not : that, every one admitted to that house would maintain the Protestant succession to the throne. The point in dispute was qUite beside the question of Protestant alarm. The hon. and learned gentleman appeared to consider that, hereafter, if persons of the Jewish persuasion were ed - mit'ed to a seat in Parliament, the hon. and learned gentleman said he, would stand on the ground of Chris tip.nity ; but.thera,,were . others who stood , on narrour grounds to oxcjude from office those who differed from them in religious opinions. It was informer times, be -fore the repeal 'of the Test and Corporation Act, held that , a, man:who did not-profess-the principles' of thes Este ,. Church was not fit' to hold a ny o ffi ce , or t o en t er ' the House of Commons -as a member nf. Parliament. 116 maintained that there was more hostility on the -part of the Protestant dissenters towards the Establish- ' anent than there was on the part of the Jew/J. ; 'he ' Jews did not seek to make,proselytes, but were attached to their own faith. If theyeamitted Jews.. into Parlia ment, it was said, the effect, would be to -no-Chris tianise the House of Coannons, What would ,they say. of the City of London which he lnid the honour to represent. They had at the' present time a gentle men of the Jewish persuasion as th'eir Chief Magistrate,: but by so having him in that office bad the city-of,L in don parted,,with its. Ceristianity,, an t. werA- they only to, resume that.Christiarlity on the next 9t.h. of. November. (Laughter). It they thought ee maintain the elearaeter - 4 that house by oaths, he would-refer them to thettine 'of the Commohwea 4 th, wlien every man was called upon ' to declare his form of belief .in - . the-Scriptures. If 91:0! was the desire of thehoesesnow, why was no a -hill in troduced 'for that purpose ? (I,{ew hear ), Having • gone over some of . the ,objections to, the bel), Um -noble- lord' said the -oath of abjuration of-- .the descendants-Of James 111. to the thronelOf this king -doinoeas no longer.neesssary,eas those descendants no longer,e7cisted ; and concluded by, urging., the- house to agree to tbebill,„and thu.s.proimote,the onward .progress 4 - civil and religions liberty. - . • . . : .. .. . . , . Mr. WALPOLE, obj e cted . to the bill. - When the hon. member for -Manchester' said - the' City of Louder .

The prin ciples of religious liberty entitled every one to the fullest liberty, but,that did hot apply to this case, as it might be the means of admitting persons .to office which might --he altogether incongruous with the admission of the in dividual... (Hear, hear.) It was not a question of persecution and intolerance, but it was one calcu lated to alter the Christian character of that house. If this bill was to get. rid of obsolete forms' ho should have given it his supp irt, but believing it to have a precisely opposite tendency he should give it his most determined opposition. , • . . Lord PALMERSTON said he should give his hearty concurrence to the second reading of the bill, as the time had come when the taking of such au oath should he dispensed with, and that it ought to be removed from the statute-hook. Mr. DISRAELI—I wish briefly to state my reasons for the course I - .shall take on - this occasion. -Not-with standing-the observations of the nob'e lord the- member, for the city of London, I must say that I think the clues; tion which - is really at issue has not been broughtobefore the house in a form the most desoetble for its proper solution.' Tne house perhaps is aware that I have upon the subject of t to restrictions on the. Jewish portion of her Maj atty.'s subjects a strong Le big of -a peculiar nature. I regret that the question ha-s not heen pre sented to the c nsideration of the hotise in a manner that would have raised a sithple issue, and-which would have-asked for the opinion of the house upon the single question whether legieletive power should ibe.' entrusted to British Jews. I deeply lament that that question should have become involved with one which at all touches the Protestai t sentiments and Protestant preju dices of the people of England. When the noble lord, two years ago, introduced a measure, which was then unfortunate, I felt it my duty to vote for tt.e fist time against the measure, although I had before supported measures of an analogous kind ; and I did so because I felt that the noble lord had fatally shifted his 'ground, and- that he would thereby raise up a host of prejudices against him, in addition to those against which he mast from time to time have to contend. With regard to the particular proposition before u', it is divested, no doubt, if many of the objections wh cb could be fairly urged against the pr ,posal of the noble ford in 1854. The oath ot abjuration in its pre , ent form a'as clearly in- efensi ble No one on either side of the question has for a mo ment praterldid that the oath, a- it is now framed, is nor "pen to very serious objections. Whetin r if. 13a , arise,: from inadvertency by the Legislature, or from the g - eat changes that have taken place in men's minds, or iron the political circumstances we have had to encounter, 1 know not ; but it cannot be demo i that the terms of the (-Evil are most anomalous. In dealing witl,l t his.qutet Con I, for one, should deeply regret, that in voting for the motion of the right. hon. gentleman the member for ela,ncbester it should be supposed-that I would vote for a motion by which it-was. attempted in an indirect Mae ner to:get rideef those obstacles which are at present in the way of British.jewe enteringeintosParliane nt, -by simply removing from the oath the words, •‘ on the true Loth of a Chris can. ' We ought to frame an oath which should be taken by members of Parliament on taking t letr seats is this house. Whether, -if 'we Were calfed upon to frame -an oath a& ino:tlo,.. it could with - propriety be ,frame I accere leg to : its.present ; form, ;so-far as the retaining of those words -is - concerned, ,I , will not stop to diec6s e ;That_ is of secondary import ance. But these worels at present exist, and, if We am repudiate and reject them from the oath, it appears to one that we .should heetaking a course which, 1 , inking only to the policy of our conduct, Nod not regarding other considerations, would in. my mind, be greatly-2.de triunental, and be fraught with consequences which all of us might deplore. (Cheers.) I have another reason, I confess, for - calling upon .the houee not to renounce that form of oath. -I have never advocated the-cause• of the Jews in this.house upon the principle of relgiousliberty, wh,ei: the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) moist sincerely end consistently advocaeee, and. which he has at all times male the basis of the policy which he has recommended to us. I have always felt that when you cathe to prac tice, and were determined to act upen that principle, you. would find it a.yery difficult-one to carry you through your cau-e. Unquestionehly,with reference to other cams, there are smile bread instances. to which that principle Will apply, but I very much doubt that if the claim of the Jews for the removal of these restrictions is merely found ed .upon,. the -abstract. principle of religious : liberty, erfeunds.of ,opposiiion may arise which heve, rot yet been introduced into the controversy, apd which it may be Ne. ry if ; t t - cille to meet and defeat. I have al nays felt tht, ILO &aid 'Of the jeWe to an, entrance into Parliament, and to tie full erj Iment of ell the rights - which this :tate can confer .upon ells subjects ,of her Majesty, muscly and,, in my opinion, justly. rts's . upon the principle that this as, a Christian s•aie, and that weoire a Chris tian community. glean) I have more than once ex- pressed the reasons which I, have always cherished for eutertaiuing thia-opinion.

On tbe even ing of the 3(hh'of Mai ch the rstine twO. men presented themselves at the house Clark, the - Victoria Coffeehouse, Crown-street, Finsbury, Where the kisoner again paid for the bed, and one of them was noticed to have a large and, carefn ly-secured brown-paper parcel with him. At half-past 9in the morning they descended, and contrived to get out of the house without any particular notice being taken of them, but on the servant go r ing up she was astonished at discovering a large quantity of loose straw piled up underneath the bedstead, and, this exciting suspicion, and the bed being examined, pne of the blankets, worth at least 10s., was found to have been stolen, and was after varas found, at a pawnbroker's, pledged for fis. 03. -.A third rob'n:ry was committed 'the very next night, the 31st:of March, when the prisoner and his confederate engaged n bedroom at the Eagle Coffeehouse,-at.Kingsland, one of them, as before, car rying a large paper:parcel. On coming down' the next morning the confederate was noticed to have apparently the same bundle, but Mr. Stollery, the landlord, thought it only prudent he should. be satisfied of its contents not being his property, and attempted to detain the rAn and the bundle. The man, however, contrived to get away with the parcel, and the prisoner attempted to follow him, but the landlord was ot-stinate, and held him while his wife searcbea the bedroom, and on her doing so she found her chest of ^ draVv - eis - AUffedfiiiiOf ;Eavings and hay, and that a proportionate quantity of the bed clothing had disappeared. The prisoner was therefore given into custody and twice remanded, a fresh- case turning' up against him at each examination, and the officer stating that still more would be preferred, but the confederate has not been dis coveredi, amid the prishner, who still deeined giving either name or defence, wee ordered to .be committed f or th e completion. of the depositi - (l34fore Mr. Creasy.)

While . they were arranging were to meet a'ter the prisoner was apprehended a boy crossed over from a butcher's shop, and spoke to the policeman. The pfisouer - saw this, and, suspecting that -the hoy was giving information of the theft, he ran down a street, round to the shop, and seizing a knife which was lying on the counter he made a thrust -at the boy ; but was prevented doing him any rnisch!ef by a woman, who courageously held: him. by the arm. The policeman had to send for assistance to take the prisoner, whose vio lence was such that it required seven constables to con vey him to the station. 'He kicked Bone violently about the legs.

A. meeting was held on Monday evening last, at the White Lion Tavern, Fashion-street, Brick lane, Spital fields, where there was an attendance of about 100 per sons, principally belonging_ to Ole class known as " Swell Mobarnen.' • The meeting was.convenecLier, the purpose oftaking the opinion of such Characters with respect to the work ing of an institution, which is intended to lend a helping hatid to those off,' fifers who way be disposed to "square account," with society, and to lead an bonett life; The room in which the meeting wls held was well lighted and comfortable. A free and easy manner pre vailed, but everything was c arr i e d on d ecen tl y, t h e cr i es of " order " and "chair" being, immediately, followed by attentive silen ce .- A stranger would! havnbad no suspicion that the men there assembled - ware at war'with society. ; They one and ail appeared well fed, well clad, and at ease with themselves. In the course of the eveniag several showily -dressed Youths, 'wlid were evidently the "aristocracy " of the class, walked into the room. These were mostly babited as clerks Or young men in offices, some wearing gold guard chaincothers with pistol keys dangling from their waistcoat pockets, 'and having oiamon, pins in their cravats. They were, however, all " mobswen," as they are called—men who in some instances, we are assured, are gaining their 101. or even 201. a week, by light-fiagered operations. Indeed several present were pointed out as " sawyers;" ".moving in the best society, and, doing a heavy busin es s." Be si d es th ese th ere werea notorious' " cracksiiien" (housebreakers), ,and one or two " fence'° (receivers of _stolen goods),, who were said to be w orth thei r w e i g h t i n go ld . • Oa the entry of one who was unknown to the rest, a cry was raised of " Only kenones' there!" "No square men in the.roolu!" which being interpreted meant only "nobs," or first-clav thieves—none who are following as honest course of life are t. be 'present ; whereupon it was reitre , ented to the stranger that the meeting was a pri vate one. Mr. H. ,11a - rilfw, who bad convened the meeting, opened theleusitiesS of the evening by saYiagthat he 'was about to found a society for th e p urpose o f ass i st in g t h ose - who' really ;triclsincierely meant to help themselves. He was awaree..hat many of the men there wished to give up their present courses, and that they would rejoice to see a way of eOcap:iefrom the cireuinstances in which they were in• volved. No doubt some of them liked their mode of life, and took a pleasure in it; but others had been driven to it by force of circumetances; by had treatment. at home, by early neglect, and ;other degrading influences. ,He had represented' the case of such.. peteonsito benevolent . people, and ; had fowl many gentlethen ready to.proffer their assistance towards bettering the - condition of the well disposed among them—indeed he had already been promised funds to a l arge amount i mme di ately the offs' cers of the society were appointed. It remained with themselves to close with such offers, and honestly, strive to redeern, their - characters, and be upright in ail their elealings,as Englishmen and good citizen, ought,to be (Cheers.) Triese woes felt inclined to choose the betty way would be treated, inot as a ilo aannals ' requiriegea cage, nor yet chiloro, to be kept in -learfing•sti lugs, but as full-grown, thinking men, -who might be trusted (for he knew there wereAnany, of them:not Ansensible to a treling ;offbuitotir), and. who -were capable !of apieri• elating sympathy and confidence. , (Applause) They must, however,- steadily bear in mind that 'it any trickery oreleceptioli were practised by them towards soon a society, it must s inn come to an end, so that et behoved them each to act as a moniter to the other, 'kcal prevent aay impositiou upoo tee ,funds of au instetuti n that miry one of them should regard as-his .owns Mr. Mayhew then recetieted are instance in which he had trusted a notorious teief at a public meeting with a wive,: reign, requesting him t get it changed, but intimating that no prosecution ;would folloN if tie absconded with tee money. Tee man had brought back the silver, and proved.thatean appeal to his hetter nature had not been made in vain. He keew, -fie added, that many l of the. men pie-en t-were tracked by the *police uht.ii they were utterly weary of their lives. He Wiened to bold out to such persone - a hand Of encouragement; to stand between the two great diyisiotis of eoeiety—the comfortable and the wretched, the rich and the poor—and, if puisible, to extricate some of thelatter from their misery. He bad occasionallyffound bigh(virtues in what were called the "darigeruus classe3;" and he never lost faith in any man. in whom he could •discern the germ of right foriliog 4 He hoped to be able to found a home and an industrial asylum, as well as an emigration society, for such .4 , were tired 'of evirCoagets, and who siiMerely wiehed . to retrieve. the character they had lost in the world, and he would be ha'py to 'bard how far the men present were diep sod to embrace a propesal of such a nature. After some little delay, a decen.ly-dre sed young man stepped for Ward, and said that he wished to state a few things ab mt the kenobe" life of - which he, fur his part, had seen quite e rough. r They all knew that their way of living was unsatisfactory ; they might get 191. in, a day, and thin go a fortnight without gaiuing a.penny ; or they might have six:months of it in prison, which was rather " a cooler." He fur one wanted to be:rescued from such a life. He confessed he was a thief,' but he had seen no end of trouble, and be earnestly desired to reform. If he, could Only get an hone .t living, he would not be as he was then,. (" Hear,"- and cheers.). The next speaker wee n returned convice Who had come back last Septomber, and found work. sorrietihnee, brit failing that, said he was obliged to make: up by plunder. For three months he had been ernpved ;n the docks, but since that time work had been scarce, arid when be was short of provisions he was driven to steal, for starve Ise ewould not. But if he could 'obtain oteu pation he would readily give up his old habits. . • ; The thirdeipeaker hed 'been transported in 1839, and had been five years in this country since his return. He worked for a time at his trade;-but when work was scarce he took to thieving, aed got again into trouble. It was only two months since he waelasti in Olson. Hie was a tailor by trade, and if security ter 51. could be ob tained be could get employment. A gehtleman - present promised thereciiiired guarafntee —an arinottucement wae fallowed by three rounds of applause. A very earnest and apparently well-disposed man re at addressed the meeting. He as well known to them all, and had often been in trouble. (Hear.) He ha i often tried to alter his condition, and failed to do so. He was a good tradesiner, and if he could procure assistance he would go tow ork, and he knew that many of thew felt the same. (Cheers.) HiS wages ought to be ss. a day, but he would. willingly work for 3-, only he had no one to recommend him. It hunger,and want oppressed him, he was driven to plundir ; but what uvula he du ? He was nut to starve to the streets. Still, he would rather work for is. than seal for a pound. He had often walked about in hunger, cold, and destitution rather than do that which was wrong. He wi-bed to go to work to-morrow morning if he could get it. He vt hhed the public to know that the men there really wanted to work. In his opinion prisons, bulks, and convict gaols were not places of reformation, but demuralieation. The next speaker had a tale of grievanue to record against the police. Ile had come out of prison pine months ego, arid found occupation as a militia taiair, for the articlss oir.Wlriele.. lie worked Were . not, saleable, oir else the authorities would nut have treated him them.

He was going Nome with some groceries fur his family, when a policeman came up, to him and .used biro in a brutal manner. He wrote to Worship-dtreet, and then to Scotland-yard, to complain, whereupon an 'in spector came down araLsad, " So you have 'been com plaining, have you? We know what you are." He answered, "I am a man." " Yee, but what have you been ?" said the inspector. "That is nothing to the purpose," was the reply. " Oh, es it, ii'; ate' you lead better say ate more about, this matter, or.you may -be knocked out of what 3/en t ers: s and be as you were before."
