PETER AUBER, Secretary. To the GENTRY, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of the COUNTY of ESSEX. GaN rtinE numerous and respectable solicitations I have received, urging me in the most flatter ing `"trio to become a Candidate, upon the present vacancy, to represent this County in Parliament, forbid any further ellencs:and I at once appeal to your zealous and cordial support. In or md• • I ary t i mes soond have been content to an nounce myself an Independent Man ; but in these days of political ap ostacy, you have a right to demand an explicit avowal of my opinions and intentions, and I can have ne desire to co ncea l them. And let th i s Add ress b e ap p ea led to in after-times Si the test b y w hi c h my ac ti o ns shall be tried, an d your choice approved. Before all things, I avow myself the sturdy enemy of P °l lira' jobbing and place-bunting servility ; the uncom promising advocate of the most searching economy, to be manifested in the extinction of every useless office, in the reduction of our establishments, civil and military, and in the diminution of all official salaries, regardless of rank or ra ncour; a substantial reduction in the amount of our taxes, and the charges of their collection, to the extent of at least six millions per annum ; the repeal of all those impositions, such as the duties on Malt, Beer, Soap, Candles, and Tea, which bear so oppressively and almost exclusively upon the industrious classes of society; and in their stead, and with a view to the preservation of our national faith and honour, I will strenuously advocate the adoption of an impartial Property Tax, which shall bear lightly on slender means, and with suitable weight upon those who abound in land or money. In conclusion, I proclaim myself to be a proselyte to the necessity of a Reform in Parliament ; not indeed by resort ing to Annual Elections and Universal Suffiage, but by alsbreviating the dutation of Parliaments—by concentrating the residences, and yet enlarging the constituent bodies— by extinguishing those Boroughs whose Electors are not susceptible of adequate increase—and by conferring the right of Election upon all great Towns, at present unre presented, whose wealth and population entitle them to it. Such are my views and principles ; and if they shall be in accordance with your own, as I doubt not they are, an opportunity now offers, in which they may be rendered pre-eminently triumphant. We live in times when every man has grave duties to discharge to his country, and it shall be no fault of mine if this important County any longer labours under the re proach of a neutral:zed representation. Meet me strongly and sincerely on SATURDAY next, and by your voices and votes tell the Ministry and the Country, that you are resolved no longer to be insulted by the hollow commiseration of " mending times," or the sneering assurance that a " genial summer" will recruit your already wasted and fast-expiring fortunes. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedicnt and faithful Servant, Colchester, March 3, 1830. W. L. WELLESLEY. OLD NETTING FOR PRESERVING FRUIT FROM FROST, BLIGHT, AND BIRDS.

DARNLEY.—This new work, by the Author of " Richelieu," revives our most delightful recollections of the brightest days of chivalry and romance. The hero, whose estates have been sequestrated and conferred on Sir Payan Wileton (the Sir Giles Overreach of the story), resolves to try the fortune of war under the Emperor in the Netherlands. Availing himself of a favourable Oppor tunity, he returns, however, in the hope of regaining his lost possessions, and trusting by his high and chivalrous character to win the confidence of his Sovereign. It i s now his fate to fall into the power of his enemy Sir Payan, but he escapes by the aid of a faithful attendant. By the favour of Lord DERBY, Darnley is introduced to HENRY VIII., into whose good graces he speedily initiates himself. A thousand luckless circumstances shortly com bine to implicate him in the fatuous conspiracy of the Duke of BUCX INGHAM, and from the circumstance of his assumed name of Sir Osborn Maurice, the treason of the real individual so called is laid to his charge. From his interest with the King he is permitted to escape, and pr o _ ceeds to France, where in a lone forest he meets with and recognizes FRANCIS 1., who is separated from his hunting companions. Being aware of a plot for seizing the per son of the King, and giving bin into the power of CHARLES V., our hero conceals himself with his attend ants, in order to assist his Majesty, should any attempt be made to put this design into execution. This event ac tually takes place, and, after a furious encounter with a baud of adventurers, Darnley succeeds in delivering the King, who takes hint to the celebrated field of the Cloth of Gold. Such are a few of the main incidents of a story that perhaps surpasses any similar work that has ever ap peared, with the exception of Ivanhoe. PETER the Great, when travelling through Germany, was emdemned to listen to a long and pompous harangue held by the burgomaster at the gates of histown. His MAJEtcrv's caput was but slightly garnished with hair, and the wind blew lustily—two sufficient reasons for In, wig; when he had eon- which he did not i captionroplsoe upon nt its e magisterialowner'shead v kfailih a to chided his harangue. The family are said to preserve the wig with great veneration; and on every anniversary of the glorious event, it is combed, frizzed, pomatumed, and powdered, and stuck up in the most conspicuous part of t h e house.—The EsreEnon was one walking one day in the garden of the Admiralty, and fell in with a country gentleman, whosa disconsolate looks forcibly struck him. After sonic inquiries, he found that the delay and the chi canery of the Government officers had withheld the settle ment of moneys owing to the poor Ruash:ir by the Crown. "Do not be disheartened my friend," said PETER, "go back to-room row, and press your claim boldly." "On my faith, Sir, you give me very pretty advice, truly ; and all I shall get for tny pains will be ' Call again to-morrow.' " " Not at all improbable," returned the Monarch ; " how ever, if they will not expedite your business for you, show them this cane of mine, but do not open your lips, fur you will find it the best spokesman you can have." " You are joking me, Sir ; you take nee for a country simpleton, and therefore—" "By no means, my friend ; lam quite serious ; take my cane, and return here tomorrow pre cisely at this hour, and bring it back." The Emexbrou here turned upon his heel, leaving the countryman in blank amazement; but he looked slyly back every DOW and then to amuse himself with the anxious scrutiny his cane was undergoing. The next day PETert found Iris friend at the spot appointed ; his eye sparkled, and he could scarce find words to express his gratitude. "My dear Sir," cr.ed the countryman, " what an extraordinary cane is this ! I went as you bade me, and the people dinned the old ' Call again to-morrow' into my ears. I made no reply, kept my temper, and popped up the cane. had the office been on fire there couldn't have been a greater uproar, the proudest fellow among them sprorq , upon his feet—all of them began hunting about—the order of payment was quickly forthcoming, and signed and handed to me with most amusing courteousness—ex cuses and apologies were showered down upon me, and nothing would satisfy them but to accoivpany me to the door. Indeed, Sir, your cane is a perfect conjui or ; pray do me the favour to let me have it, and set what price you like upon it."—" My dear Sir," answered PETICII, I am no dealer in canes; but whenever you may want it again, it will be quite at your service." At the moment some officers came up—the mystery of the cane was un ravelled ; the Emexaoa ma le his bow, and the country gentleman felt no regret that Inc had met w i t h suc h a 'friend in need.—From a Work air Russia, by M. de St. Mauro, LONDON, THURSDAY _EVENING, MARCH 4, 1830 CORK ELECTION COMMITTEE. WEDNESDAY, - MARCH S. This Committee resumed its sittings to-day, when the Chairman announced that Mr. Wm. Russell, one of its members, being unable to attend, through indis position, they had got leave to proceed without him. Mr. HARRISON resumed his reply. He did not rest his case en a general liability to Government in consequence of the contract, but on the existence of the contract itself, which he contended should be for twelve months after the last delivery of beef and pork, and the Statute supposed that the influence of . G overnment would exist while any part of the contract remained incomplete. _ _ . Mr. NORTH wished to know what would be the consequence if Mr.' Callaghan had contracted for an unlimited period that the beef and pork should be sound, would such a contract incapacitate him from sitting in Parliament during his life ? Mr. liAnnisoN—An individual may disqualify himself for ever by a contract; but an indefinite cos- 'tract might be rendered definite by a release. Mr., NORTH—Suppose Mr. Callaghan had con tracted to supply horses instead of beef, and war ranted the soundness of them, would such a warranty incapacitate ,him, and how long? Mr. IlAnutsoN—lf a man enters into a loose con• tract he must take the consequence.. In case of such warranty, th 46 decision respecting the soundness would be by a Jury. But, in the present case, the decision as to the soundness of the beef remained with the officers of Government. Mr. NORTll—Suppose another person had become security for the soundness of the beef instead of Mr. Callaghan, should such person be incapacitated fro►r, sitting in Parliament for twelve months in conse quence thereof ? Mr. HARRISON—NO ; the Act applies only to the person who enjoys the profits of the contract. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to say that the principle on which Mr. Bish's case had been decided was, that by the construction of the Act of Parlia ment the contract was in existence, while the subject of it remained incompleted. Mr. NoßTH—There is this distinction between the two cases, that Mr. Callaghan enjoys the full benefit of his contract, whereas Mr. Bish did not, at the period of his election. Mr. HARRISON—But Mr. Callaghan is liable to refund part of his receipts if within twelve months any part of the beef should be pronounced unsound, whereas Mr. Bish had paid the entire amount of the demand on him without being liable to pay any more. The present case was much stronger than that of Mr. Bish. The Learned Counsel observed, that this being a remedial Statute, the Committee should put the widest construction ow it, in order to advance the remedy arid suppress the mischief. Lord Tenterden had decided that the evidence of the agent of a can didate having given a bribe to a voter, might be ad mitted with a view to make the election void, without any proof of the candidate himself being cognizant of such bribe having been given. Yet, in suing for the penalty of 5001., it was necessary to produce proof of the candidate being cognizant of the bribe, be cause the Statute relating to the latter was penal, and that relating to the former was remedial. Under these circumstances, the I,earned Counsel submitted that they should not construe the Statute strictly; and that, as long as any part of the contract re mained incompleted, so long the contractor was in capable to sit in Parliament. The room was then cleared, and the Committee having deliberated for half an hour, The CHAIRMAN pronounced their decision to:be— " That Gerard Callaghan, Eq., was not duly elected ; and that neither the petition against his election, nor the opposition to the petition, was fri volous or vexatious." As Mr. Callaghan's contract will not terminate before the 4th of July next, he cannot become a can didate at the next election. INIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-(LAST' NIGHT). The Consolidated Fund Bill ►vas reported, read a third time, and passed. The Lunatic Asylum Bill ►vas reported, read a third time, and passed. Mr. Crider, from the Treasury, presented an ac. count of the the quantity of lead ore, imported and exported since January 1, 1825 ; and the amount of duty received.—Ordered to be printed.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(LAST NIGHT). At Four o'clock the Speaker took the Chair. Sir T. BARING brought up the report of the Cork Election Committee, stating that the election was null and void, and the petition neither frivolous nor vexatious. A._-new writ was accordingly issued. Mr. SLANEY presented a petition from Shrop- shire, praying for the total reduction of the Tax on Malt. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from the Dock Company of Kingston-upon-Hull, praying that the East India Company's Charter might not be re newed.—Referred to the Committee. Mr. WARBURTON moved for a return of all Meetings, public and private, before the Commis sioners of Bankrupt, from the ist of January, 1828, to the Ist of January, 1830. Mr. DAWSON moved the second reading of the Bill for the Prosiding for the Services of the year 1830, by an issue of Exchequer Bills. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY presented two pe titions from parishes in Shropshire, against the Truck System. Mr. E. DAVENPORT gave notice, that not withstanding the other business on the Paper, he should persevere in his motion on Friday next. He had a petition signed by every retail tradesman in Manchester, except three, complaining of distress, and which negatived the assertion that the distress did not extend to retail trade. Mr. TENNYSON thought it would be inconve nient if the lion. Gentleman pressed his motion for Friday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that he would, in accordance with what he considered the the sense of the House, go on with the Supplies on Mondays and Fridays. After a few words from Colonel DAVIES, Mr. SLANEY, and Mr. BARING— Mr. Secretary PEEL remarked that it was un fortunate that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. E. Daven port).had selected Friday for his motion respecting the distress prevailing in the country, because much business stood appointed for that day ; and amongst other things the East Retford question, which it was high time they should dispose of, as it had been now before them for a period of three years. He accordingly rose to ask the Hon. Member to state the purport of his motion, and declare distinctly if he was determined to bring it on oil Friday next ? Mr.E.,DAVENPORT said his motion would be for a Committee to inquire into the causes of the existing distress. Whether he should press for u Select Committee, or a Committee of the whole House, he would not say until the day of battle, as the Right Hon. Gentleman and he were old sol diers, and might not be disinclined to avail them selves of auy advantage which circumstances might offer. For the rest, his present determination w►•as to persevere in the intention he had announced, of bringing forward his motion on Friday next. Sir E. KNATCIIIII.3IA, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and Colonel DAVIES pressed for a categorical answer PRICE 7D. from the Hon. Gentleman. The Hon. Baronets= thought it would be better to postpone the motion until the Chancellor of the Exchequer should ha%;,e made his statement respecting the financial arrange ments for the year. Mr. E. DAVENPORT, in reply, declared he would leave his notice as it stood ; awl that if he could find no other way, he would, however dis agreeable it might be to his feelings, consider him self bound to introduce his motion as an amend ment upon the Order of the Day. The petition was then brought up, and ordered to be laid upon the table. Mr. BERNAL asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer the reason of a new practice which had sprung up in some of the ports, of charging a duty of 6cl. on each print or map in books imported from abroad. Formerly books containing prints or maps were only charged by weight. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not prepared to answer the question at this moment. He would, however, to•morrow, give the Hon. Gentleman the information he required. Sir F. BURDETT presented a petition from the inhabitants of Chichester, relating to the present system of licensing public-houses. Mr. JEPHSON, after referring to the late pro ceedings in the county of Cork, relating to the charge of conspiracy to murder, moved for certain papers relating to the postponement from the last Summer Assizes of the trials of the persona charged.— Among the papers moved for was a copy of the Lord Chief Baron's notes, and a copy of the corres pondence bets een the Crown Solicitor and the Se- cretary of Ireland. Mr. O'GRADY said that as far as the Chief Baron was concerned, he would most readily give any information in his power. Lord L. GOWER consented, on the part of the Government, to the papers moved for, except the notes of the Chief Baron; and, indeed, he could not say whether, as no trial took place, it was at all pro bable that the Chief Baron would have any notes to furnish. Sir C. WETHERELL thought there was an objection to another part of the motion; namely, the correspondence between the Crown Solicitor and the Secretary for Ireland, as it was very pro• !table that the correspondence was confidential. Mr. DOHERTY, for the same reason, recom mended the Hon. Member to withdraw that part of his motion. It would furnish no information he could require. Mr. JEPHSON was in the hands of Hon. Mem bers, and he was understood to say that he did withdraw that part of his motion.—Copies ordered. Sir R. VYVYAN gave notice that on Friday next he should move for a call of the House upon Tuesday the 16th of March. Mr. E. DAVENPORT postponed the motion of which he gave notice from Friday to that day. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned. MR. COLNIAN'S NEW WORK.

In short, its object is, to keep pace with its contemporaries in points of general in terest and utility, and to distance them all in its peculiar and distinguishing features•_namely, the authenticity, quality, and variety of its Fashionable Intelligence, and its Sketches from high Life ; both of which (its conductors pledge themselves) are, for the most part, derived from contributors who cannot be misinformed as to what they report and describe.

The promise' of excellence then given was matured in his next production, the ' Universal Prayer,' and may be thought to be fulfilled by the sublime tenour of his present poem, which places him at once on terms of noble emulation with the better spirits of the age."—rimes.

By SAMUEL MAUNDER. Part I. consists of a new and enlarged Dictionary of the English Langu age , containing, independently of ever y well-authorise d word to be met with in the largest Dic tionaries, upwards of a thousand useful and significant words, with their definitions, used by modern authors of repute, but which are not to be found in any other Lexi cographical Work whatever. Preceded by a compendious English Grammar, with Verbal Distinctions, classed, and occasionally illustrated, &c. Part H. comprises a New Universal Gazetteer, with Population and other Tables; a compendious Classical Dictionary, followed by Scriptural Proper Names, ac cented ; a Chronological Analysis of General History ; a Dictionary of Law Terms; and various useful Tabular Addenda. The whole surrounded by Moral Maxims, Proverbs, and Aphoristic Precepts ; the experience of the past, and a guide for the future. " This is indeed a Treasury of Knowledge, and does infinite credit to the Editor's (Dr. Maunder's) diligence, perseverance, and ingenuity. It is one of the most ser viceable and admirably-compiled digests in this, or, we may add, in any language. The very margin is turned to account, and filled in every page at Up and button, and tin either side with a choice collection of ut:eful truisms, idioms, and sententious observations of the most eminent classic writers in the language. The cost of the whole vo lume is but seven and sixpence ! The type, though small, is distinct and legible, even to old eyes ; the paper hand some, and the tout-ensemble such as would . do credit to any Gentleman's Library. There cannot be the slightest doubt but Mr. Alaunder's own private treasury will consi derably benefit by the circulation of this public one. It must have taken him an age to have compiled such a work."—The Sun. London : printed for S. Maunder, 10, Newgate-street ; and sold by every Bookseller in the United Kingdom.

COLMAN'S " RANDOM RECORDS.? Of Dodd, who played at the Richmond Theatre, he tells a good story. This hero lived with one of the actresses, and they had frequent quarrels. One day, in the heat of a domestic fracas over a shoulder of mutton, the landlord rushed to the scene of ac tion, and found Dodd and his (-here amie engaged in hostilities. " How dare you, Sir," ejaculated Dodd, who was brandishing the shoulder of mutton in his hand, " obtrude on us while we are rehearsing!" " Rehearsing!" cried the amazed landlord, while the broken pieces of china were crunching under his feet, " I could have sworn you were fighting." " No, Sir," said Dodd, " we are rehearsing the supper scene in The Ta►ning qf a Shrew." The landlord, glancing round the room, observed that he had I.een tam►ng a shrew sure enough, and took care to send in a long bill for rare china broken at the rehearsal of Taming of a Shrew, which actually was to be played the same evening. 'When Colman was at Westminster School, the college baker was natned Jackson. This person was wont to utter a ludicrous quibble on his own views with respect to fortune:— " If I had a garden, a field, and a gate, I wouldn't care for the Duke of Bedford's estate; That is, I wouldn't care for his Grace's estate, If I had Covent-garden, Smithfield, and Billings gate." _. Mr. Colman disposes very summarily of the merits of Sheridan and Lord Erskine. Of Sheridan, he says, contrary to the opinion of all who have hitherto alluded to the subject, " That he did not shine in light conversation ; that he was more like a Parlia mentary debater; alit he speechified rather than conversed ;" and he seems to insinuate that he too much resembled Richardson—a lover of that kind of disputation. " Tell Richardson where you dined, and he would inquire, had you a good day ? Was there much argument?' " Of Lord Erskine, Colman observes, that he was a gifted man and a good man, and in the early part of his career considered a great man; but, as Moody says of Sir Francis Wronghead," He could no hauld The following is an excellent specimen of parental discipline and obedience :—" Sir Charles Turner was educating tinder his father's principles of making him a fine dashing fellow, but under excellent con troul. When I first saw him, he ran into a draw ing room, full of company, with a live mouse in his hand. Bite off his head, Charles,' said the father; —the boy obeyed the word of command,—his white dental guillotine fell upon the conden n ►ed vermin, and poor mousey was instantly executed." In Kirkleetharn, Mr. Colman saw a man 80 years old, who only two or three years before had learned to read, that he might gratify a parent's pride and love, by perusing his son's fist voyage round the world. He was the father of Captain cook, and if the story be true, there are few touches of human nature more deeply affecting.

He was a poor man, and his wife, whom, since that time, he had kept at home, was in the habit of breaking all his things and knocking him about. The applicant now wished the parish to take - care of her. The Rev. D.MaTTatas said he might have a SUMMORS. IJNIONT.HALL Yesterday three men, named Oaks, Plummer, and Rose, were broeght mp . charged with breaking into the Duke of St. Albsin's villa , at Highgate, and stealing a valuable French clock and a pair of vase's. Rose has been apprehended within the list few days, and formerly acted as under•gardener in the service of the Duke, at Highgatc • Kathy, the broker, of Brentford, who, it will be recollected, purchased the stolen article: for 51., was liberated from confine ment, and admitted as a witness to give evidence against the other prisoners. The case was post poned for further inquiry. Edward Moyla, a boy between 12 and 13 years of age, belonging to the Licensed Victuallers' school, in Kennington-lane; was charged with maliciously setting fire to that establishment on the owning of Friday last. Mr. Smith, the chairman, two of the - ttustees, and Mr. Phippen, the secretary, attended the exa• urination. From the statement of chief-coastal!, Hall, it ap peared that on the morti . ng of Friday, aleout eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in the upper part of the above establishment, which would, is all probability, have been attended with the most destructive con sequences, had it not been timely arrested in its pro gress by some of the officers belonging to the insti tution, and a body of men belonging to the police force, who exerted themselves with much ardour en the occasion. Owing to the voluntary disclosure of the prisoner, it appeared that he had purchased a phosphorus box in the Strand; and, on the morning in question, he repaired to an apartment situated in the upper part of the establishment,called thepotatoe room, with another boy : they amused themselves in this place for some time, and then► went down toge ther. Soon afterwards the prisoner took an oppor tunity of proceeding up stairs alone, and having gathered a quantity of straw together, he procured an instantaneous light with the phosphorus, and, placing the lighted match under it, left the room, which was in a blaze very shortly after his departure. The cir cumstance of how the fire originated was not known until within the last few days, when, upon the occa sion of the schoolmaster reading prayers to the boys belonging to the institution, the prisoner, it seems, burst into tears, and having detailed 'with great mi nuteness the attempt be had made to burn the build ing, then described where he had afterwards eqn cealed the phosphorus box, which was found in the place he had pointed out. Mr. CHAYMERS inquired if the boy had ever ex hibited any aberration of mind. Mr. Smith was given to understand since this affair happened, that thy prisoner had Tiot evinced that soundness of mind which was expected in a boy of his years; for instance, he was in the habit of rising out dins bed at night and lying on the bare boards without covering, and frequently attempted to induce other boys to follow his example. Mr. Smith added, that there were other circumstances connected with the boy's ease that induced him to be strongly of opinion that his intellects were im paired. - Mr. CHAMBERS then inquires! if the boy's hither was alive ? Air. Smith said that he was not, hut that he had a mother living, who was iu indigent circumstances. Ire added, that they were not at all desirous of pro secuting this case, under any circumstances; but it was their determination to expel a boy who had ex hibited such vicious propensities, and who, if allowed to remain, might one day carry that into effect which he had meditated. Mr. CIIAIIEURS Should remand the prisoner until Tuesday, and requested the Rec. Mr. 'Mann, tha chaplain of the gaol, who was present, to pay some attention to that particular case, and ascertain with certainty as to the prisoner's soundness of mind. TOWN.IIALL, SOUTHWARK, The followiMg case occupied much of Mr. Alder man ANSLEY'S time yesterday morning : A Mr. Leggatt, of Joiner-street, made application for u warrant against a young man attached to St. Thomas's Hospital, stating that his (the applicant's) son, a child of five years of age, had been scourged by him in a most cruel manner, thus explained by the child :—He was at play on Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, in front of the Hos pital-gates, in Thomas-street, when the youn g man accused threw out a halfpenny for him and his play mate to race for, and afterwards said, if lie would go with him he would show him some pretty birds and little pigs, and then took him through the Hospital to some waste ground, up same steps, and down sonic steps, till they came to a cellar, where he made him kneel, stripped down his clothes, and whipped him► ttrribly, then took him by one leg, and drugged him backward and forward, and again whipped him, though he had dons nothing to de serve it. " And what confirms me in the truth of his story," continued the agitated parent, " he mur mured the accused's name in his sleep, implorittr him to desist." The child's person was the►► exposed to view, and presented n shocking sight, his firth being mai tied with stripes, and quite black. On being asked who had done it, he pointed to the accused, who was present, as the person, another child, soinewhat older, saying also that he it was who took the other. away. e accused said, that hearing it was intended tin make the present application, he had attended voluntarily, to deny most solemnly being the person who hxd inflicted the injuries, or having further to do with the child than throwing the litapvitny, and brought forward his sister, who said he was in her room from a little after six to sevens there was, however, a space of ten minutes estaceounted for. Alderman ANSLEY said a most barbarous outrage had been committed by some pitiless ruffian, and if he (the accused) was that person (by his OWit allowing ten minutes were unaccounted for), he was bound to make the most ample recorapenee, and turning to the father, left it for hint to indict the accused, if he considered he had sufficient proof of his being the author of his child's sufferings. The incensed father expressed his conviction it/wit he was, end declared his determination to pros4KAI-to. Mr. Nash, the steward of the hospital, attended the hearing.
