the price obtained at each sale. The return states that it is
impossible to identify the various lots sold with the specific

ing were the prices paid for boots during the late war, from
which these sales took place :—For ankle boots, from is.
3d. to Bs. 3d. per pair; for winter knee boots, from 16s. 3d.

boots were sold for £l6. One lot realised £4O, and the
others from £l6 to £l7. In July, 1856; one lot of 200 Pairs
