FURTHER PARTICULARS.

Captain John Drummond, of the brig Martha, has
been committed for trial on the charge of murder. The
Cork Reporter gives the following account of the trans-
action, which it will be seen differs materially from that
already made public. The Martha, the property of
:Mews. Lockett and M'Neal, of Liverpool, sailed from
Lagoons, on the Spanish main, January the 2d, for Liver-
pool, laden principally with mahogany. She had been but
a few days at sea when, according to the statement of two
of the crew, the captain manifested unusual severity to the
men—keeping them unnecessarily employed at hard duty,
withholding from them more than half their allowance of
victuals, and otherwise treating them very bard. They
state, that about three weeks ago, one of the hands, com-
monly known by the name of Jack the Dutchman, a
foreigner, died in consequence of the captain's cruelty, and
was soon after consigned to the deep. Matters, accord-
ing to their account, went on in this state, when it was
thought by themselves that they never cAuld survive the
voyage. Expostulation was vain ; the system of cruelty
and short allowance was rather increased than diminishad,
until last Thursday, when the captain ordered the mate
(William Ridley, an Englishman) to assist the men in
working the ship. The mate declined, upon the ground
of incapacity, b reason of his reduced state of body and
the agony which proceeded from his swollen legs. In
this state the ship was worked until Sunday morning last,
when the captain is said to have ordered the crew to tie a
rope round the mate's body, and haul him upon &el from
beneath. The mandate was obeyed, and in an hour the
man was dead ! At this time the ship was about 30 miles
S.W. of Cork harbour, on her passige to her destined
port. At 10, a.m., not an hour and a half after the mate
died, the capt,in, with a brace of pistols, according to the
statement of one of the men, cocked and presented, and
of the other, slung across his waist, g .ve directions
that the body should be thrown overboard. The men
instantly obeyed ; and in a short time the captain lay
down and slept, when it was reselved by all hands to
secure him, by tying him with ropes. The ship then
made for Cork harbour ; and she had not changed her
course long when she was bcarded by a pilot from the
coast, whin she was, at one yesterday morning, brought
into the Cove. At an early hour measures were taken to
secure all on board, and at half-past two P.M., they Were
brought to Crrk. The captain appears a mild ioteilintelligentman Upon being questioned on the charge, be denied it
most unequivocally, stating that the clew were, all the
voyage, in a state of disoiganization and di.affectiim. The
crew are, except one or two, in a deplorable state—their
hgs swollen, and bodies greatly reduced and lacerated.

To THE ARNlY.—lmportant advantages are
likely to accrue to the officers of the army, horn Colonel
Stek% art's plan, to be elven in the Naval and Military
Gazette of this afternoon, for the purchase of Unat-
tached Promotions, and the Commutation of Hall-pay
C•onmissions. Whilst it provid,a for a general and ex-
tensive promotion of officers, the plan, we understand,
has the peculiar advantage of increa,ing the revenue. The
subject, we understand, is expected to be noticed in the
House of Commons next week.

MYSTERIOUS AND AWFUL OCCURRENCE.
—On Monday last, Mr. Lucas Behan, of Monstereinn, a
young gentleman, much beloved and respected, went to
the funeral of a deceased friend. About a mile from his
residence, he went, on his retuan home, into a house be-
longing to a man named Malone, and while there a person
came in and said a young man with whom he was ac-
quainted was killed outside the door. He instantly went
out, and seeing some persons fighting, he endeavoured to
separate them, and in his laudable exertions he received
some blows which caused concussion of the brain, and sur-
vived only till five o'clock the following morning. On
Wednesday the Coroner held an inquest, and though every
exertion was made to elicit the truth, and the jury sat till
eid,ht o'clock in the morning, they were obliged to bring
in a verdict of manslaughter against some person or per.
sons unknown. Malone and his wife, at whose door the
affair happened, and several others who witnessed the
whole occurrence, were examined, but tbey would not
disclose ihe names of the guilty parties. But, ere the
Coroner left Malone's house, where the inquest was hrld,
Malone gave three dreadful screams and dropped-dead on
ti•e spot! His wife also was carried to bed, and is not
expected to survive many hours. She is labouring under
a brain fever.—Galway Advertiser.

HORRIBLE SUTTEE.—(From the Bombay
Courier of Sept. 28.)—The Rajah of Eedur, a sin ill
independent state beyond the British frontier in Guzerat,
died in the afternoon of the 12th of August last, and
when the event, which was for some little time concealed,
became known to his household, seven of the Rinees (his
wives) rushed into the apartment where the dead body
lay. The mother of the present young Rajah was alone
ignorant of the fact of the death, being detained in her
room. by the Karbarees, or native ministers. On the morning
of the sth the above seven Mluees, t wo concubines of d ifferen t
castes from the Rajah, one personal man servant, and tour
female slaves, were taken down with the corpse and burnt
with it, before the whole assembled population of Eedur.
Every body of influence is stated to have aided in the
horrid tragedy ; -and not a single person, either connected
with the Rajah's family, or otherwise, appears to have
interposed a solitary effort, by word or deed, to prevent
these fourteen unfortunate people from taking the fatal
step of burning with their chief's body. On the con-
trary, the greatest alacrity was shown on all sides to
complete this infamous outrage. One of the Rinees
was several months advance:l in pregnancy ; another,
who had throughout shown a disinclination to sacrifice
herself, had only been married nineteen months to the
Rajah, and was under 20 years of age. Just before the
lighting of the funeral pile, the eldest Ranee, (60 sears of
age) addressed the Karbarees, saying that she herself had
always determined to die with the Rajah, and that no ex-
postulation would have turned her from her purpose, but
that it was strange she had not heard one word of dis-
suasion or compassion expressed by any one." Sue con
eluded her remarks by desiring them to go and live on
the plunder they were securing to tberniqlees by the
destruction of their chief'. family. The Karb ices were
influenced, it is understood, in sparing the life of the sur-
viving Ranee, as she is the mother of the late Rajah's only
son, and her los: might have been injurious to their in-
terest. An extensive pillage of the Rajah's personal
property, consisting of various valuables in jewels, &v.,
is stated to have taken place for the benefit of the
Karbarees.

HOME CIRCUIT..—MAinsroNE, MARCH 13.
(Before Mr. Justice GASELEE. )
Jahn Whales, a lahouter, aged 46, was indicted for
maliciously and feloniously setting fire to a barn, the pro-
perty of Thomas Wood, Esq., and in the occupation of
John Dodds, at Staple, on the 17th of February last.
The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury returned
a verdict of Not Guilty.

AIARcn 14.

Jams Ward, aged 45, a Greenwich pensioner, was
indicted for the wibul murder of John Bailey, at Green.
wich Hospital, on the 25th of January last.
The prisoner and the deceased were both pensioners in
Greenwich Hospital, end were inmates of the same cabin
in the infirmay ward, the former having been removed there
within a short time of the commission of the offence, on
account of having a trifling fever. At about five o'clock
on the evening of the 25th of January, James Connor,
the boatswain of their ward, was alarmed by a noise pro
seeding from cabin No. in which the prisoner arid the
deceased were. He, in the company of another pensioner,
immediately proceeded to the room, and found the deceased
lying on the floor bathed in his blood, with several wounds
about his body. He lay apparently dead, and a slight
quivering of the lips were the only tokens of life. The
prisoner at the time was getting into the deceased's bed, and
drawing the clothes over him. A light was then sent for,
and, in the mean time, be threw bis shoes through one
of the panes of glass. Upon being charged with the
murder, he replied, " Yts, it was I who did it." He
was then asked what he had done it with ? He said with
kn fe, and pointed to one lying on a stool. Upon Con-
nor observing that that could not be the knife with which
he bad inflicted the wounds, as it was dry, he stated
that he had wiped it, and afterwards, when in the strong
room, he said ire had licked it clean, the same as be
would if be had killed him (Connor). Connor then asked
him what motive he had tor killing Bailey, and he replied,
" he mocked me, anti made fun of me, and I killed him.
Diving his confinement he manifested all the symptoms of
derangement, sometimes shouting and singing, and some-
times st itting in the faces of the persons who attended
him. Sir William Beatty, the physician of Greenwich
hospital, and Sir Richard Dobson, the surgeon, attended
the prisoner while in the strong room, and though at first
they had suspicions that the madness was stimulated, yet
from a constant attendance upon him they were of opinion
that he was subject to temporary fits of insanity. He was
sent to tite infirmary for a slight fever, unattended by any
urgent symptoms; and on the day of the murder he
complained of a pain in the head, and twelve leeches were
applied.
A verdict of Acquittal was accordingly returned en the
ground of insanity.
The prisoner, when at the bar, certainly presented every
appearance of an insane person, grnn ng constantly, and
looking about the Court with a wild vacant stare, appa-
rently regardless of what was taking place.

WESTERN CIRCUIT—SALISBURY, MINCH 13.
(BtfOre WILLIAM SEL vt, IT N, E.g., Asscbsor for the Sheriff.)

CIUM. CON.-110ALOCK V. DAWSON.

This was an inquisition to assess the damages in an
action for criminal conversation, the plaintiff having suf-
fered judgment by default.
Mr. Sergeant Wiens: stated the plaintiff's case. The
action was brought against the defendant for seducing the
wile of the plaintiff. The plaintiff and defendant were
both gentlemen of fortune and condition residing in this
county. The marriage of the plaintiff had taken pl Ice at
an early period of life, and he had possessed his wife only
a few years ; there had been four children of the marriage,
but only three of them wt re living, two sons and a daugh-
ter. The husband and wife o ere at that period of life
when long-continued happiness must present itself to the
individutl, and he had found himself rubbed of his wife,
and his cbilthen left motherless. Mts. Horlock was of
suitable age fur the plaintiff. She was an accomplished
woman, and possessed great personal at raction. She was
possessed of 30,0001. Consols, and bad an estate settled
on her which was worth 8001. a year. She had an Aso •
lute interest for life in the personal property, and would
have the rents of the real estate if she survived the plain-
tiff. The plaintiff after the marriage purchased an estate
in this neighbourhood, called the Rocks, and Mrs. Her.
lock's father came from London, and lived near his daugh-
ter. The defendant was introduced to the plaintiff under
very peculiar circumstances—under circumstances which
tended to give him the means of promoting or destroying
the happiness of the plaintiff. He was the fellow-cone-
girn of the brother of Mrs. Horlock, and con•tgnently
became almost an inmate with the family. He visited at
the house of Mr. Horlock, and also at Mr. Bootle's, the
father of the lady, before the discovery, and it would ap•
pear that he had actually wade the appointment to meet
the wife of his ft tend at the house of her own father. If
there was any place at which a female would be supposed to
find security, it would be at the house of her parent. How
any individual could look the parent in the face, and
witness his affection for Lis child, and use the
means of being admitted nutter his roof for the pur-
pose of destroying the happiness of both the fattier and
the daughter, he was at a loss to imagine. The appoint-
ment had been made to meet at the house of her father, but
it seemed that Mrs. H.'s courage gave way, fur at the last
moment she appeared to have placed her confidence i❑ a
housekeeper of her lather•, and to have disclosed to her that
the defendant was about the premises; this led to a suspi-
cion of some correspondence, and means were taken to in
tercept any letter which might come. The next morning
a letter was brought from the defendant, which showed the
terms on which they then were ; it was one of those pas-
sionate effusions which were sometimes seen. He ad-
dressed ter in the most p issionate language, and invite-I
her to leave her husband and join him. The next day
she was missed and no intelligence could he obtained of
them for some time ; at length they were traced to Os-
borne's Hotel, in the Adelphi, cohabiting there as man and
wife. That was the general nature of the case, and he
was sure he was addressing gentlemen of such experience,
that he should be improperly occupying their time by
adding more ; but he called to their attention the period
of life of the plaintiff when the transaction occurred, and
the effect it must hove on Mr. Horlock's future pf ospects,
be being how only 30 years of age. He knew not what
excuse or apology the defendant would make. He was
satisfied that they would think it a case calling for serious
damages.

The marriage seit'emtnt was then produced, dated
April 8, 1826, in which the father of the plaintiff con-
veyed the ltt.elor estate, and the father of the lady trans-
ferred 30:0001. Consols to trustees, in trust, as to the per-

MN. Prichard—l am housekeeper to Mr. Boode. Mrs.
Horlock is his daughter. Plaintiff and his wife visited
him frequently. Mr. Bootle has a son. I have seen the
defendant. He was a viciter at his house. They aver&
on particularly friendly terms. Plaintiff and his wife
appeared to live on very affectionate terms. I think 1
have known Mr. Dawson eighteen months. Mr. Boode
lived in Bryanston-square. Plaintiff and his vvire were
at Mr. Boode's on the 28th of December last. In conse-
quence of what Mrs. Horlock said to me, I went to the
verandah about seven in the evening. I found the de-
fendant there. He had a pistol. I spoke to him. I
asked him if he was aware of what he was doing in
coming to Fee Mrs. Horlock, and if he was aware that he
was going to break the happiness of I,er father. He had
previously said to me, " My dear Phoebe, how are you ?"
I asked him what was to become of the three children
He said he would take them all. He remained ten or
fifteen minutes, and then went away. I went in and win
Mrs. Horloek's brother. Mrs. Horlock did not sleep at
the house that night. I have never seen her since. The
next morning 1 wont to Mrs. Butler, a washerwoman,
and procured a letter from het, which I gave to Mr
Boode, jun.; there was no direction on it. I went by
the desire of Mr. C. Bernie. Mrs. Horlock was oat
aware of my going for the letter.
The letter was th,n read :

"My God! I am wretched—miserable, I cannot exist
'without you. Oh, dearest, decide at once—our chance is all
but gone—gone entirely, if you neglect the present moment.
We can no longer meet in private—scarcely in public. Your
papa knows almost everything, and here am I, waiting, posi-
tively waiting for them, expecting every instant to be called out.
Not that I am afi aid, dearest, only that it will be the cause of
dividing us for ever. God Almighty bless and protect you. I
suppose I had not better come this evening; can you not send
me one line? But if anything happens, remember the hour
tomorrow, though I fear you will be watched and perhaps
not allowed to go : send me a line ; be careful what you say,
for fear it should fall into bad hands ; but do decide ; you are
trifling with the lives of many at present. There is but one
hope, and that will last but for a short time. If we, are sepa-
rated, I tell you again, as I have before said, you will break my
heart. Again, Heaven watch you and protect you. I shall
wear what you sent me to the last moment of my life. I shall
not see you then all day ; how can I exist? Oh! Phoebe, you
have won my heart for ever and ever; decide my fate; you
must write, if only a line."

Cross examined—Mr. and Mrs. Horlock always spoke
to each other in the kindest manner. I told Mrs. Hoc-
lock on the 28th of December how happily they appeared
to live to,2ether.

Thomas Fletcher—l am gamekeeper to Mr. Horlock.
I saw him come to his house on the 29th of December.
He was very much agitated. He toll ins Mrs. Horlock
bad gone off with Mr. Dimon. He told me to get my
Curt, and Fee if I could see Mr. Dawson, and if so, to
shoo him. I afterwards went to Landon, and traced
Mr. Dawson and Mrs. Horlock. I went to Corshain, to
Dlelksham, to Trowbridge, and Warminster. I found
they had slept at the Dep•ford Inn. 1-rom information
I received I vent to Osborne's H eel, in the Adelphi, and
NM both Mr. Dawson and Mrs. Horlock in the bed room.
He had not on his coat or waistcoat. Mr. Daws.,l3 and
plaintiff had been on very good terms.
Cross-examined—l have lived with the plaintiff two
years. I pursued defendant by the orders of the plaintiff.
He told me he did not blame the defendant so much as
lie did Mrs. Horlock.
avibeili Downes—l am the chambermaid at Osborne's
Hotel. D. fondant and Mrs. Horlock came there on the
31st of December, and lived as man and wife, occupying
the same t ed.

This closed the plaintiff's case.
Mr. ERLE, on the part of the:defendant, had to request
their attention to a few observations with respect to this
inquiry, which was simply as to the amount of damages
this defendant was to pay to Mr. Horlock. The plaintiff
had to show that he bad treated his wife with general
kindness and affection, and that the misfortune was not in
any degree to be attributed to himself. The extent of the
loss was to be measured according to the extent of value
in which he had held his wife. Mr. Horlock had been
placed (a man of fortune) in such a situation, that he
must have been very well known, and, therefore, there
must have been an extreme facility afforded him of pro-
curing the attendance of parties who could cone forward,
and give an account of the manner in which the husband
and wife were living together. Nothing could be so easy
as to bring forward, at least, half a dux in persons, who
had an opportunity of going to the house, and forming
their opinion of the fact. His friend, exercising his con-
summate skill, had called before them Mrs. Earl. On
the evidence of that lady, who, during some period, had
been in the habit of going and dining, and staying two or
three days at the house, lie had relied, and no other person
had ben brought before them to hear what Mr. H 's can-
duet had been. Was -it not remarkable that, selecting from
so large a number as he might select from, no one witness
could be brought before them without her disclosing that on
some occasion the lady bail adverted to some kind ofneglect
and inattention ? His friend had pressed upon them the
age of the plaintiff and his wife, and the shortness of the
time that had elapsed since their marriage. That was to
he called to their recollection ; but he (Mr. Et le) thought
that was a fair presumption against the plaintiff; for at
that time of life, when he might have the prospect of
long-continued happiness, how were they to account for
►.he tact that that affection appeared to have been destroyed
and lost to him ? He would say, let them make the case
their own, and say whether the observations of his friend
against the defendant were not to be palliated in a con
siderable degree, and then he would leave it to them to
consider what amount of damages the plaintiff was en
titled to.

Mr. SELWYN then summed up, and the jury asked the
Learned Assessor to what sum the wife was entitled.

Mr. SELIVYN told them that she was now entitled to,
and in the possession of 9001. a year, notwithstanding her
coverture; and in e3se she survived her bu.bdmt,
would
be entitled to SOU a year from the Rocks estate.

The jury having consol,ed together a short time, as-
sessed the damages at 4.0001.

There is an Eboe carpenter, named Strap,
who was lately sick and in great danger, and whom I
nursed with particular care. Toe poor fellow thinks that
he can never express his gratitude suffich-ntly, and when-
ever he meets me in the public road, or in the streets of
Savannah 14 Alai., he rushes towards the carnage, roars
out to the postillihn to stop, and if the boy does nut
obey ins.antly, heabuses him with all his power; "for
why him no stop when him want to talk to massa ?"
"But look, Strap, your beast is getting away !'' "Oh !
damn beast, massa." " But you should go to your
mountain, or you will get no vitle." " Oh, damn

I believe that dreams arc uniformly the resusci-
tat'on or re-embodiment of thoughts which have
formeilv, in some shape or other, occupied the
mind. they e ohl ideas revived either in an entire
stare, or heterogeneously mingled together. I doubt
if it be possible for a person to have, in a dream,
any idea, whose elements did not, in some form,
strike him at a previous period. If these break laits•e
from their connecting chain, and become jumbled
together incoherently, as is often the caqi, they
give rise to absurd combinations; but the elements
still subsist, and only manifest themselves in a new
and unconnected shape. As this is an important
point, and one which has never been properly in-
, :isted txin; I shall illustrate it by an example. I
lately dreamed that I walked upon the banks of the
Great Canal in the neighbourhood of Glasgow. On
the side opposite to that on which 1 was, and
within a few feet of the water, stood the splendid
portico of the Royal Exchange. A gentleman,
whom I knew, was standing upon one of the steps,
arid we spoke to each other. I then lifted a large
stone, and poised it in my hand, when he said that he
was certain I could not throw it to a certain spot
which he pointed out. I made the attempt, anti fell
short of the mark. At this moment, a well known
friend came up, vt hom I knew to excel at putting the
stone ; but, strange to say, he had lost both his legs,
and walked upon wooden substitutes. This struck me
as exceedingly curious; for my impression was that
he had only lost one leg,and had but a single wooden
,fte. At try desire tie took up the stone, and,
without difficulty, threw it beyond the point indi-
cated by the gentleman upon the opposite side of
the canal. The absurdity of this dream is extremely
glaring ; and yet, on strictly analyzing it, I find it
to be wholly composed of ideas, which passed
through my mind on the previous day, assum'ng a
new and ridiculous arrangement. I can compare it
to nothing but to cross readings in the newspaper:,
or to that well known amusement which consists in
putting a number of sentences, each written on a
separate piece of paper, into a hat, shaking the
whole, then taking them out one by one as they
come, and seeing what kind of medley the helero•
geneous compound will make when thus foituitously
put together. For instance, I had, on the above
day, taken a walk to the cilial along with a friend.
On returning- from it, I pointed out to him a spot
where a new road was forming, and where, a few
days before, one of the workmen had been over-
whelmed by a quantity of rubbish falling upon him,
which fairly chopped off one of his leg:, and so
much damaged the other, that it was feared amputa-
tion would be necessary. Near this very spat there
is a pack in which, about a month previously, I
practised throwing the stone. On passing the ex-
change, on my way home, I expressed regret at the
lowness of its situation, and remarked what a fine
effect the portico would have were it placed upon
inore elevated ground. Such were the previous cir-
cumstances, and let us see how they bear upon the
dream. In the first place the canal appeared before
ine. 2. Its situation is an elevated one. 3. The
portico of the Exchange, occurring to my mind as
!wing placed too iow, became associated with the
elevation of the canal, and I placed it close by on a
smiltir altitude. 4. The gentleman I had been
walking 'with was the same whom, in the dream, I
saw standing upon the steps of the portico. 5. Hay-
ing related to him the story of the man who lost
one limb aid had the chance of losing another, this
idea brings before me a friend with a brace of
wooden legs, who, moreover, appears in connexion
with putting the stone, as I know him to excel at
that exercise. There, is only one other element in
the dream which the preceding events will not ac-
count fir, and that is, the surprise at the individual
referred to having more than one wooden leg. But.
why should he have even one, seeing that in reality
he is limbed like other people ? This also I can
'ccount for. Some years ago he slightly injured his
knee while leaping a ditch, and I remember jocu-
Italy advising him to get it cut off. lam particular
in illustrating this point with respect to dreams, for
I hold that, if it were possible to analyze them uli,
they would invariably be found to stand in the same
relation to the waking state as the above specimen.
The more diversified and incongruous the character
of a dream, and the more remote from the period of
its occurrence the circumstances which suggest it,
the more difficult does its analysis become; anti, in
point of fact, this process may be impossible,. so
totally are the elements of the dream often dissevered
from their original source, and so ludicrously
huddled together.—Macnish's Philosophy of 'Sleep.,
pp. 48—.51.

rai,p from 12,0001. to 14,0001. by last year's agitation in.

VEGETATION IN A LEAD M1NE....--SIN-
GULAR FACT.—On the 20th ultimo, Jon.thsn Wood-
mass, jun., a working miner, at Nether Hurth Lead-
mine, Alston, the property of Messrs. Shaw and Co.,
brought up a quantity of new potatoes, which had
actually vegetated many fathoms below the surface. The
potatoes were of the light-red kidney sort, and some of
them measured six inches in circumference, while many
of the stalks were eighteen inches long, and produced
at the root from sixteen to nineteen of the vegetable. It
appears that the workmen got a quantity of potatoes taken
to the mine (which lies sear the head of the river Tees)
in the latter end of last year, for their winter store, and
took them down to preserve them from frost, and the crop
of which we are now speaking were produced from some
small ones, which were cast aside as worthless, and which
took root spontaneously,without any covering whatever. A
quantity of the potatoes thus produced in the deep bosom
of the earth, were cooked at the residence of Mr. Shaw,
at Alston, and partaken of by a party of friends. Their
flavour was excellent. —Newcastle Journal.
DON CARLOS OF SPAIN.—Le Renovateur
gives the following description of Don Carlos, which may
he of interest at the present moment, when the contest in
Spain excites so much attention. The writer appears to
lean towards sbsolutism, but we translate his drcrtption
literally :—" Dan Carlos, the direct and legitimate heir
to the Throne of Spain, is the object of the profound
respect of one party, and the deep hatred of the>
other. He is of the common stature, his courttenance
is calm, and incapable of exhibiting strong expression.
His mann r is cold, grave, and silent, and his dignified
air is tvell calculated to please the reserved C.,asti-
litns. His enemies have endeavoured to represent tiv
silence as haughtiness, his calmness as hypocrisy, and hie
piety as fanaticism, a deception which might succeed in
another country, but the Spaniard never either loses or
love• hut upon sure grounds, and his reflecting character
prevents him from giving way either to prejtidiee or en hu-
siasm, except with good reason. Some persons have
compared the character of Data Carlos to that of the
gloomy Philip 11., but there is no sort of ground for
the comparison. Don Carlos refutes this alleged simili-
tude by the practice of every virtue in private life. He
is a model for fathers. Living in the midst of hi. chil-
dren, and beloved by al: who are near him, Don Carlos
practices that sort of piety which cannot off nd th• lease
austere. He always manifested the greatest iradiff-rence
to political questions up to the period when, attacked its
