China, who.* brilliant venires. he übaerved, had heen

have had no difficulty in complyiny with the demand,
and the lives of some miserable subordinates would have
been sacrificed, while the real offenders would have
escaped.
The ituition was then agreed to.
On the order for the second reading of the Bankruptcy

Judge the Hill merely sweated additional expense. and
that it slid not provide for old 11111 l ity of decision. It

and bankruptcy. but did not do so; it was only an
alteration of the law, and alteration was not reform.
