who promised to give the matters suggested to him
a full considerate', and equaled the loomed*"

dons to parliament to be preened by Sir James Dike. The
report then, referring to the asylum, stated that the erection

The CIAIRMAN expressed his relent at the small support
the seedy receded from the trade. Toward' the "velum

if government intended to bring i• a bill neat session to

the negative, that they should take sesames to get petite=
roes the trade. He expressed a hope that when the setter
wee Meer understood by the beer sellers, of whom there
were nacre than 9,000 in the metropolis, they would support
• satiety which wee instituted for their peculiar benefit.
