what had happened, and, considering who it was that

no effect on them so far as the house was concerned.
The object of the Boob was to have these houses con-
ducted by men of good character; it was the Ignorant
person who 'eta caught, while the knowing thief kept
clear. If the publican had been an old licenead
victualler, then what had happened would be fully
coneidered by the Bench; but now, if theowne.ald
he would keep on the landlord, isnd he conducted the
bushman to the sold action of the Boob, they would
not allow what had happened to weigh Wilma him-- I
Dr. Drew said he had an Interview with the men and '
his wife, sod they assured him that it was entirely

these people were brought to his house by captains of
