of Death Bill, but interesting as that subject is at other
times it has lost all its interest now when the question is
whether a large number of the people shall be annually doomed
to or saved from starvation to please the protected landlord.
After s.evaral divisions on clauses of the Bid, all of which were
against Mr. KFLLV, that gentleman said that finding he could
not Lear up against the whole weight of the Government, he
would not carry the Bill any further. '1 he House resumed.
The House then went into Committee on the Criminal mus-
' tice Bill, and were occupied for a considerable time with
some amendment proposed by Mr. W. PATTEN, relative
to compensating the Coroner of Manchester, and the Clerk to
the Peace, and Clerk to the Justices of Lancashire, which was
eoutested with the vigour of a personal dispute. Mr. MARK
l, 'Burs was the principal opponent.
'Jr, PATTEN'S clauses, however, were lost on a division by
I`lB to 73.
A clause proposed by Lord EGERTON to exempt Bolton from
`the Dll was lost by 75 to 31. The Bill was ordered to be
reported.
At One o'clock the House Adjourned. I

The old Poor-law was abe:;,Ehea
because the
paupers were eating the estates or the gentry.
But, according to the Stawlfitrci, and the passage
is well wonky the attention of the landlords, the
Poor-law, together with the Corn-law, cannot
exizi, and must be abolished. If the Corn-law
be abolished, • the landlords will have a dimi-
nished rental ;if the Poor-law be abolished their
estates will be shared by the paupers. Either
way the landlords are in a most unenviable po-
sition. But hear our Tory Contemporary :
The Corn-laws do to some extent, though lessithan is be-
lieved, keep up the price of provisions; but the practical effect
of the New Poor-law, and whatever ha, been pretended to the
contrary, the intended effect, is to bring down the rate of wages.
These are two operations tha.c cannot go on together without
injustice to the working classes ; and if the New Poor-law is
to remain, the Corn-laws must give way. They who have all
along thought with us can have no difficulty in joining the
people in efforts to get rid of the odious Alalthusian law ; and
for the Conservatives from whom we unfortunately have dif-
fered upon thispornt, we respectfully warn them, that they can-
not save that hateful law. Its doom has gone forth. The
voice of the "country has unequivoeally pronounced sentence
upon it from the hustings at Nottingham. Conservatives may
damage their own interests, and compromise the interests of
their party, and they have done this too long, by the attempt
to save this monument of the folly and cruelty of their political
antagonists—but save it they cannot.
The poor landlords then are doomed, as well
az; the Poor-law, and whether Tories or Whigs
govern us they may prepare to see their wealth
depart and their order decline. •

Our Contemporary has another passage which,
being found in its pages, deserves consideration.
The Standard habitually insists on maintaining
the enthroned magnificence of a mitred priest-
hood, that the splendour of its wealth may im-
pose on our senses, and continually demands
mere geld for that body it supports the injus-
tice of taxing Dissenters to enrich the Church ;
and above all it advocates zealously tbe Corn-
law, in order to add to the wealth Vof the idle
landlord at the expense of the industrious la.
bourer; yet it, last night, contained the following
words :

For ourselves we do not conceal the opinion, that it is not
only possible, but easy, to render the working classes in Eng-
land the most contented and loyal people upon the face of the
earth, and the most attached to the laws and institutions of
their country ; but to do this we must treat them as citizens,
and not as slaves. We must restore to them an interest in
the institutions which they are to defend; renounce the wor-
ship of Mammon as the deity of our national policy ; and
ensure to every man a fair share of his own earnings. It is
a mistake to suppose that the mere labourer alone suffers by
the tyranny of wealth; the grievance ascends to classes who
never dream of the real cause of their sufferings—it meets the
shopkeeper, the professional man, and even the scholar, in
the weight of gold thrown into the scale against him, what-
ev.r the object of his pursuit. But the reform must begin at
the foundation ; raise the condition of the humbler classes—of
men living by labour—and by the one act you elevate all the
sons of industry, whatever their rank.

-We delight to see such sentiments in the Tory
papers, and rejoice to think that the Corn-law
proposition of the Ministers is the parent of the
Standard's wisdom, begotten on the Standard's
wrath. Row raise the condition of the labourer,
—how treat the working classes as citizens, not
asslaves. t—how ! but by not plundering them, and
by ach.nitting them into all the privileges of the
State. At present, because a man is not able to
e in a ten-pound house, he is disfranchised;
because he is not the owner of 3001. or 500/. a
year from bricks and mortar, or from clods, he
is not fit for a representative. At present our
whole political system, as worked and carried
out by the Tories—who have substituted property,
as we showed on Friday, the sign of freedom,
for freedom itself—is founded on the worship of
MAMMON. The great objection, repeated
over and over again by the Standard, too,
as well as the bulk of the Tories, to the Parlia-
mentary Voters Bill, was that the proposed class
of voters had little or no wraith. They might
be the most honest, the most religious, the most
patriotic men in the world, lint they had not 10/.
beneficial interest in the land, and were held to
be justly disfranchised by the Journal which
now denounces the worship of MAMMON. The
Standard hits itself as hard as it hits the land-
lords ; and, while it generally advocates the ex-
clusive aristocratic constitution, proposes, by giv-
ing the labourers wealth and full liberty, the
destruction of the aristocracy. It sacrifices its
own consistency, hoping to gull the Chartists;
but they will not be deluded by such a barefaced
trick.

The Corn-low was passed, and is now upheld
in the true spirit of MAMMON worship, solely
and exclusively by the landlords, in opposition
to the people, to keep up rents. If it was sus-
pected to diminish rent, it would be totally abo-
lished as soon as the forms of Parliament would.
allow a law to be passed. At the same time,
the worshippers of MAMMON hypocritically pre-
tend that it is for the good of the poor. They
dare to clothe their low-minded avarice in the
garb of philanthropy, and usurp, while they
practise the vices of a money-scrivener, the cha-
racter and attributes of a benevolent Deity.
Such a jumble of hypocrisy, cant, inconsist-
ency, and fraud, as make up the character of
Tory politicians, whether they be writers or
speakers, is prodigiously disgusting. That men
should be enslaved by a valiant conqueror, at the
head of a powerful army, seems deplorable
enough but that they should be similarly de-
graded by such hypocritical worshippers of MAM -
mos as our Tory aristocracy, and not by any
valour or wisdom on their part, but by the unin-
telligible balderdash of Acts of Parliament, would
not be credible were the fact not so familiar as
no longer to excite astonishment. However, we
have the authority of the Standard and its prac-
tice for asserting that the system is doomed. In
common with the Times, and the rest of the To-
ries, it courts the Chartists. We begin to think
they were right, for their ends, in not agitating for
a repeal of the Corn-laws, for they have, by their
acquiescence, infatuated the aristocracy to keep
up those execrable laws, and so have brought on
a financial and 'political crisis, in which they are
courted as arbiters of the fate of the Ministers and
the Constitution.

By the arrival of the splendid steam-ship Aca-
dia at Liverpool, on Sunday evening,
.in twelve
days from Halifax, we have received New York
papers of the 16th, Boston of the 17th, and Hali-
fax journals of the 20th ult. inclusive. When
the Acadia sailed from these ports nothing had
been heard of the President. Public meetings
had been held in Washington, New York, Phi-
ladelphia, Boston, and all the great towns through-
out the Union, at which resolutions deploring the
loss the country had sustained by the sudden
death of General HARRISON, and expressing con-
fidence in the wise administration of the new
President, were unanimously adopted. On
the 13th ultimo President TYLER issued
a proclamation ordering a solemn fast
on the 14th of May to avert the Divine displea-
sure manifested in the sudden death of his la-
mented predecessor. By the evangelical portion
of the community this first act of the new PRE-
SIDENT is lauded to the skies. But the counte-
nance which it receives from several of the.
journals is somewhat equivocal. For example
the New York Evening Post says :
That there is a certain propriety in this step we cheerfully
acknowledge, for if the public offices are to be filled in this
manner with party rogues of the has, it class, we shall be
ready as early as the 14th of May to fast in sackcloth and ashes.

Mr. BIDDLE is publishing a series of long let-
ters in the American Papers, the purport of
which is, that he is not to blame fir the pecu-
niary embarrassments of the United States
Bank. Mr. BIDDLE is certainly not more to
blame than Presidents JACKSON, VAN -BUREN,
and the whole of the Sub-Treasury squad. Their
system must be abandoned, or the United States
will go to ruin. The New York Express of the

16th ult. has the following observiatiOnt upon
this now all-important question:—
That a National Bank is the only means of restoring the
currency, that the Secretary of the Treasury will recommend
one, that Congress will create one, and the President sign a
Bill thus creating one, arc, if we learn correctly, the vte*s Of

approved by George Washington and James Madison.
The Journal of commerce severely censures
the attempts of the French Journals to fan the
flames of discord between the people of England
and those of the United States. The remarks of
this sensible paper are quoted with approbation
by the leading journals throughout the Union.
There is not a syllable about Mr. McLgon or
the Boundary question in these Papers.

THE PENNSYLVANIA BANK BILL.—On Saturday last the
Vetoed Bank-bi 1 was discussed at some length in the Penn-
sylvania Senate. with a view to pass it by a vote of two-thirds,
that it might become a law notwithstandivg the vets. The vote,
however, when taken, stood yeas 15, nays 13, and the attempt
accordingly failed.
THE AnCHIGAN BANK SUSPENSION BlLL.—This Bill has
pa sed bAh branches of the Legislature, and wants but the
signature of the Governor, which it will, no doubt, promptly
and cordially receive, to become a law. The sum arid sub-
stance of the Bill is that it gives a naked, unqualified, indefi-
nite, and unconditional suspension of simcie payments to the
Bank a Alichig''an and the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank and
th, it branches. The suspensory of any of the other banks
named in the Bill, is at the discretion of the State Officers.
Our banking system then, hereafter, is to be genuine wild cat.

TIIE FIVE MILLION LOAN.—The rumour was current in
the city yesterday, that the State Treasurer had received in-
formation that the Uni•ed States Bank would not pay the April
instalment of the five million loan, which the Bank of Michi-
gan was allowed to anticipate by putting out her irredeemable
notes.—Detroit Free Preset.

Show Spoicati•--The snow storm began to fall in New
York on Monday morning and continued through that day and
Pvetling. The ground early on Tuesday morning was covered
to the average depth of a foot. A large part of it disappeared
in the course of that day. There was also a violent st, rm in
Philadelphia. The correspondent at that place of the Journai
of Commerce, says that more snow fell there on Monday than
did in the same time, any day during the winter. Here the
snow fed through the day on Tuesday, but did not accumulate
to a depth of more than aix or eight inches, except where it fell
its drifts.
FAMILY OF GENERAL HARRISON.—A letter published by
the Baltimore Patriot states that Mrs. Harrison, the General's
daughter-in lax, with the rest of the Ilereaved family who
were at Washington, would leave that city, on Saturday or
Alonday fcr the West. accompanied by Col. Todd and Col.
Chambers. They would make the journey by way of Phila•
delphia and Pittsburgh, on which route the canals are open.
GENERAL JACKSON IN PECUNIARY DISTRESS.—The fol-
lowing paragraph, from a late number of the Louisville Jour-
nal, will be read with pain :—" A few weeks ago we saw a
letter from General Jackson to a gentleman who had drawn on
him for one hundred dollars. He acknowledged that the
money was due, but stated that he was so miserably embarassed
by his security debts as to he utterly unable to take the small
sum necessary to meet the draft. He said he had some
blooded stock which he was willing to give up to the drawer
of the draft, but that 3100 in money was out of the question.'

Indians sailed from this place to New Orleans, on their way
to Arkansas. They were principally Tallahasses of Echo
Emaliha's band. This shipment left at the post, 95 Indian;,
increased now to 150 by the arrival yesterday of a party under
Cosa Tustenuggee ; Coacuochee or Wild Cat is also here ; -
one of the most intelligent and fine looking Indians I. ,have.:
ever seen.

It requires no I;ttle restraint upon one's feelings to extend-- re.
friendly hand to two such consummate villains and cold blooded
murderers as these last two chiefs. Their coming in is quite
unexpected to us all, and Lcannot think that Wild Cat has
done Fo with any intention of emigrating.
The number of Seminoles at Sarrasota has been increased
by recent arrivals to 90. Billy Bowlegs, the chief of this
party, and the third in rank in the nation, is now here tempo-
rarity. He is very young, mild and amiable in appearance,
and his physiognomy certainly furnishes no indicati,n of the
ferocity and treachery which he manifested at the massacre of
the Cailoo ohatchie.

CANADA.—Lord Sydenham, Governor-General of the Bri-
tish North American provinces, has by proclairnation pro-
ro;:ued the Provincial Parliament from the Bth of April lust.
to the 20th day cf May next, then to meet at Kingston, for
the despatch of business. The Governor-General was se-
riously ill on the sth inst., but on the 7th his health was im-
pr.ving.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET-APRIL 16.

A few days since there was a general cal for specie among
the banks of this city, and a s nsequent shifting of balances.
'1 he call commenced with the Bank of Commerce, and bc.fore
it was finisheti the specie drafts went through all the others.
Those most in debt, as a matter of course, had to pay up. This
call did not arise out of any demand from abroad, ur from
oilier States, fur there is no demand of this wort, but merely to
settle up. There is now no arrangement of interest between
the several institutions, therefore tnere is no benefit to a bank
to let other banks be much in their debt. 'I he occasional set-
tlements that are made, are highly necessary to
:keep things
in a sound i,nd healthy condition. To pay is as necessary as
to receive, and banks as well as individuals are kept strict by
short reiikonings.
Exchange on London is a little higher to-day. Sales at
1071 to 1073.

The manufacturers Ins Co, of Boston on Tuesday declared
a dividend of 10 per cent. on their earnings for the past six
months.

The Beston Atlas of Tuesday says that the money market
there is without any material change. The amount of busi-
ness paper offering out of doors is very limited, and is sought
after at fr m ito 10 per cent per annum. An increased
amount of Bank stock has appeared in the market within the
past fortnight, which is generally the case after holders have
received their semi-annual dividends—the prices of most of
them have been well maintained. Rail-road stocks are firm
and the demand i arely supplied. Domestic Exchanges within
the past week have been rather more abundant, and the rate
en Philadelphia funds has been more steady than for some time
past. On many other points we have experienced an improve-
ment, but on Georgia it is difficult to sell, except a heavy dis-
collat. Foreign Exchanges continue rather dull.
We are requested to state that the report that the German
Bank of Wooster, Ohio, had refused its own notes, in payment
of debts due to that institution, is false.

l'l.e Receivers of the American Fire Insurance Company
have declared a final dividend of 1 3-4 per cent.
The Bank of New York four per cent. for the last six
months, mable on the Ist of Alay.
The State Bank of New Brunswick four per cent.
At Philadelphia, yesterday, United Bank Shares were sold
at 18.

A moderate business only was done at the Stock Board,
but generally at a reduction on the closing soles of )esterday.
Unit ql States Bank fell off 1-2 ; North American Trust 3.4 ;
Harlem 1-8 ; Stonington 1-4 ; Delaware and Hudson closed at
92 1-4, which is an advance of 1 1-4 on the sales of yesterday ;
Mechanies- Bank rose 1-2, and Syracuse and Utica 1.
STATE STOCKS.—This morning the following sales were
made at the Beard—sl,ooolllinois Sixes for 1t.470, 48; $3,000
Indiana Sterling Fives at 54; $l,OOO Indiana Fives 53; and
$2,000 at 52 1-2.

Madrid Papers, of the 24th ult., have come to
hand, but they bring no news of any political
interest. The Senate had appointed a Commatee
to arrange with the Committee of the Deputies
the manner of discussing the Regency Question.
A collision between • these two bodies was re-
garded as inevitable. They had held two meet-
ings without any result. The Fives were at
26 3-16 on the Bourse.

T Paris Journals of Friday. and Saturday
hay all reached us. •The heat with which the
Fre :ch Government follows up prosecUtions for
offe.nces almost reconciles us to the fill-
low_ng act of amnesty which appears in the offi-
cial columtis of the Illoniteur. To the principle
of amnesties, on such occasions, we are strongly
opposed. The course of justice ought not to be
regulated by Royal whims, or the accidents of
days upon which, to parody COLMAN'S expres-
sion, it graciously pleases Kings to vouchsafe to
be born. If the sentence of a Court be just, the
Monarch who disturbs it is guilty of injustice; it
unjust, every day of the Sovereign's reign is pro-
per for setting it aside
The King, on the occasion of his fete day and the christen-
ing of the Comte de upon the Report of the Minister
of Justice, has extended his clemency to 187 individuals con-
demned by the ordinary trit4unals. They have obtained as
follows : --1.56, remission of the remainder of their punish-
ment; 28, commutations or reductions ; and three, remission
of the accessory punishment of the pillory. Con ormably to
the wishes of his Majesty, the pardons which the King has
deigned to grant will everywhere receive their execution dating
from the Ist of May.

The defeat of the Whigs upon Lord HowicK's
amendment upon the Irish Registration Bill
affords great delight to the Journal des Debats.
This Journal will change its tune on receiving
the,London Papers of Saturday. The Whigs
have retired from the contest stronger than ever,
for now they have the country with them. The
promised modification of the Corn-laws and the
reduction of the tax on sugar, have given a
giant's strength to the Ministry.
M. SARRANS, the author of a Life of Lafayette,
has made the discovery that one of the letters
for ,which La France was prosecuted, was
pirated from a work of his published in 1834. As
it then appeared in a different form, this stamps
part of the correspondence with the brand of
forgery.
Ca ea ERA. Several papera,",ays Saturilay'sMoniteur," have
announced the re-appearance (If Cabrera in Catalmia, at the head

spread in Spain that General Brujo, who was a rufugee in
France, hau disappeard, and taken the direction of Catalonia.
We can affirm that this Genera has not left his place of re •
aidence."

The Journal des Debats, after Navin_ announced that the
Emperor of Morocco reeogniseF as a French subject every

Kader and all the tribes hostile to France acimowledge in
general his supremacy, if we recollect all the circumstances
which the enemies of Algeira attempted to draw from the in-
divi,ibility of the temporal and spiritual power among the
MUlstlitiatts, we tritist acknowledge that the declaration of the
EmPbrdr. of Mortlebo is a political success on which we may
tongratulatb the Government. But this declaration proves
that Morocco, to whom all the tribes with whoa we
hare any connection attribute the legitimate sovereignty, ex-
plicitly recognises the right of France over' the Musselmans re-
siding in the country of which she is mistiess."—Moniteur.
On the 27th of April a covered waggon passed through
Rennes, loaded with four millions in gold, being a consignment
from Hayti for the indemnity to the former planters. It is said
that in this sum, which is almost exclusively composed of fo,

gold pieces of the reign of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV. The
waggon is escotted by a detachment which has accompanied it
froisi Brest, and which is re-inforced by other detachments in
each garrison which are necessarily changed.—Le Commerce.

MONEY and COiYIYIERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
The mercantile markets are very dull in the City.
Throughout the day the Stock Market was in a very weak
condition, and no improvement occurred up to the termination
of business. The immediate cause of this alteration appears to
be, first, that money has all at once become in increased de-
mand, under the idea of a dissolution of Parliament being
probab'e, when, of course, large sales of stock must be effected,
in of der to carry on electioneering contests, which, from the
state of parties, there is every reason to believe would be more
severe than for some time past. Whether, as is partly hinted
in some quarters, Government, instil it obtains some relief to
its Exchequer by the es,ablishment of new duties, is indebted
to the Bank of England for temporary .aid, it is not easy to as-
certain; but no doubt (and unquestionaPy it is proper) the
Directors in their corporate capacitywill facilitate the efforts a
the Ministry in restoring the finances of the country to a more
satisfactory condition., Consols for Money opened at 89/ to 90,
but left off at 893 to 89/. For Account the highest price was
90. the lowest 89/, and the latest 69A sellers. Exchequer Bills
fell to 13s. and les. premium ; India Bonds remained at 2s. to
4s. premium ; Bank Stock was 167 to 166, being a further
decline of I tot per cent. • and India Stock 252 A to 251, or IA
to 3 per cent. decline. The New Three-and-a- half per Cents.
were at 9Si to 9SA, and the Three per Cents. at 88/ to 886.
In Foreign Stocks and in Railway Shares there was very
little business done, and the sales effected were at reduced
rates. Spanish Actives were 231/3, Portuguese New 34 to 33/,
Mexican 29A to 29, Columbian 22k, Brazilian 69, Russian
113 A, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half er`Cents. 52/. Great
Western Railway was 30 to 31A, the Fifths Bto 71, the Lon-
don and Birmingham 72 to 73, and the South-Vs estern 19A
premium Brighton Shares were 1/ to 2} discount; Provincial
Bank of (reland Shares improved to 17 premium, and London
and Westminster Bank were 3 premium.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MIY I.—the business in
the Cotton market to-day has been very limited, and the sales
amount to 2,000 bales to the trade, and 500 to e3p3rters ;

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, APRIL 30.—The transac-
tions at the Stock Exchange this day have been as follows :

A Lisbon mail has arrived by the Royal Tar steamer. The
accounts from that quarter will be found in another part of the
paper.
By the arrival of the Acadia steamer American papers have
been received to the 17th April, but they furnish no intelli-
geace respecting the President steamer. United States Bank
Slia.es had fallen from 21 to 17i, and the Exchange upon
England was 74 to 8.
The Hamburgh mail arrived this morning with papers of the
30th April. bringing the Exchange upon London, at 13 5,

800 RSE or AMSTERDAM, AralL 30.—At the opening of
the Bourse, the National Funds were again lower, but later in the
day a re-action took place, and the prices were firmer at the close.
Ardoin's Spanish followed the impulse of the fat at Antwerp,
and remained g under the price of yesterday. Great sales
were mid,: owing to the liquidition.

By the returns publi,.hed of the Bank averages it appears
that the circulation has increased 50,004., the deposits have
inert ased 41,000/., the securities have decreased '246,0001., the
stock uf bullion has increased 299,000.

The British funds have become heavy, end Consuls have re-

Both the British and Foreign markets are exceedingly heavy,
although there has been but little business doing to the present
time. A report prevails that the Secretary of the 'Treasury
has resigned, and that others of the Administration intend to
follow. Everything has a sombre appearance in the City, both
in respect to commercial affairs as well as the fund.. Money
is getting rather tight, and it is expected that a dissolution will
take place earlier titan expected.

ABOLITION OF THE CORN-LAWS.
linindiately on receiving the account, on
Saturday morning, by the Second Edition of The
Sul newspaper, of Lord John Russell's notice of
motion the previous evening, for a Committee to
consider the Corn-law, the Council of the Na-
tional Anti-Corn-law League forwarded the fol-
lowintx circular to all the tranch Associations:—
NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.
Sir—The Council of the National Anti-Corn-lacy League
seize the earliest moment for caging your attention to the
announcement made by, Lord John Russell yesterday, of his
intention to move for a Committee of the House, on the 31st
instant, to consider the Corn-law.
As the decision of the House upon the measure will depend
mainly upon the force of public opinion which may be brought
to bear upon the Representatives of the people, the Council
most earnestly entreat you to lose no time in procuring peti-
tions, holding meetings, and making every possible demon -
.stt atiun in favour of the immediate abolition of the Corn and
Provision laws.
It will be seen that Lord John Russell's notice of motion
refers to the Corn-14m exclusively, and the Council recom-
mend that the question be kept distinct from that of the Im-
port Duties.
I have the honour to remain, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
By order of the Council,
Manchester, May 1, 1841. GEO. WILSON, Chairman.

TIIE WEATHER.—The Spring is now over—
to-day we commence with summer, and if the season before us
prove as favourable as the one we have left behind, we shall have
a right beautiful season. Vegetation is in an unusually ad-
varictd state, and it, could not fail to be so, for the spring
which is just over, has not been excelled by any within the
memory of man. The seeds have been committed to the
ground in the most. favourable circumstances, and the braird
of vs heat and coin is I.;ohing very healthy. The grass fields,
al,o, are in an advanced state; the blossomis on the fruit
trees, and if no ungental bia,,tts occur soon we may anticipate
a plentiful harvest, both in the field and in the, orchard. The
past week has been the warmest of the season, anti there is no
appearance of a change of weather.—Leeds Times.
A SINGULAR CASE.—The Pittsburgh Ame-
rican states that a man in Lewiston was supposed to have died
from over eating and drinking, and from some awkwardness in
putting him in the coffin, which had been procured, he was
sutrered to fall on. the floor, The shock had the effect to
lie has refus',d to'pay the funeral expenses,
knock life into him fut. he immediately rose ,o, inquire what
they wure about.. •
and the coffin maker and others have brought suits against
him for their bills.
