ledge the receipt of the following testimoniat from Mr. J. Farrah,
Gardener to Boswell Middleton Jalland, Esq., of Ifolderness-house,
near 11n11.

"I have had 400 feet of your Gutta Percha Tubing, In lengths of
100 feet each, with union Joint, in use for the last twelve months for
watering these gardens, and I find it to answer better than any-
thing I have ever yet tried.
• The pressure of the water is very considerable, but this has not
the slightest effect on the tubing.
" I consider th'ls tubing to be a most valuable invention for gar-
deners, Inasmuch as it enables us to water our gardens in ahout one-
ha'f the time, and with one half the labour formerly required.

completely reconstructed. She is now in a for-
ward state, and is to be fitted with new boilers and
machinery.

mantled very rapidly, and will be paid off neat

to the benefit of a doubt, and he was released.
