the currencies had a downward tendency. For free Foreigt,
Wheat no progress could be effected in sales. In bowie?

prices. The best parcels of Oats were held at full prices;

BOROUGH AND SPITA.I.PIELDS.
From all quarters the arrival of potatoes at the water-ti a,
during the week, have been very moderate, and of but et;_ef
dung quality. Prime qualities are in request, at furtPu
advanced rates; but, in other kinds, comparatively little
doing.
BOROUGH HOP BTARRNIT. •
The supplies of all kinds of hops being extremely limit',
the amount of business doing is unimportant; ueverthel!"
prices are generally supported.
WOOL MA&ZET. *.
Since our last the imports of wool have been only
moderate extent, while the demand for most qualities 0"'"
ruled steady, and previous rates have been supported:
• TALLOW.
There is no new feature in this market. The holders'

tallow'remain firm, therefore the prices of Y. C. on the o,i(
and for the autumn are the same. Town Tallow is 1/,,,'*0
plentiful at 41s to 41s 6d nett cash. There are letters Vf.4.
morning from St. Petersburgh. A fair business is doing theta!;
and the prices still on the advance. • '

SHOCKING' CASE OF BURNING.—On 5U1L.....y aft"5
noon, between four and five o'clock, an accident of a
serious nature occurred to a little girl named Reed, regal;
with her parents at 55, Battesland-street, East-road, Ho
_A
ton. It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Reed had been indu,c.„;,
by the fineness of the weather to spend a day at Greenwte"o
and for that purpose had entrusted the care of their chil°4o.
to a neighbour's servant, who most incautiously left ite,(
child amusing itself by tossing up an orange. In e, the
minutes afterwards she was attracted by the screams ce •icl
child, and, on entering the kitchen, . she met the cube
screaming most piteously,ilth her clothes all in flames. ths
servant,fortunately, had the presence of mind to roll hot
hearth-rug round the child, and extinguished the flames,,ke
not before she was burnt in a most shocking manner. "'"ifi
general supposition is, that the orange must have fallen it+
the fire, and the poor little girl, in endeavouring to regal° 40
must have set her clothes on fire. The little sufferer !he
immediately taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, whore 'no
now lies in a most precarious state, with slight, if any, b.,°Yof
of her recovery. The feelings of the parents on hearinb •
the accident may be better imagined than' described. 1
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE --About nine, on Sun

an alarm was given by some individuals, on Dialcoo
friars-bridge, that a woman had leaped from the parapet lief
the river. Some policemen on duty immediately pros

to the place, and after great exertion succeeded m reec4oo
the unfortunate woman from her perilous position. She.dge,
conveyed to a public-house in the vicinity of the brl
where efforts were made for her recovery, which proved stlii
cessful. Her circumstances in life, if we may judge froll,lo
clothes she had on, were very distressing, and -we have -'1•011,
doubt that poverty had been the cause of her infatolos

METROPOLITAN DRAPERS'
ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of members and friends of this Association,
whose object is to abridge the hours of business, was held last
night at the Hanover-square Rooms. B. Bond CabbelkEsq.,
in the chair.

Mr. HINDLEY. M.P., proposed a resolution to the effect,

that the hours of labour were prolonged to an extent in the
drapers' and other businesses in the metropolis, which was
destructive to health, and inimical to moral and intellectual
improvement. He said there were thousands of young men
in this metropolis who were exposed to labour for fifteen,
sixteen, or seventeen, and, in some instances, eighteen hours
a day.—(Shame.) Their opponents met them with the ob-
jection that the drapers' assistants were not in the worst con-
dition, and referred them to the milliners, directing their at-
tention to an interesting young female who had been
occupied during two and twenty hours in making a costly
robe for a very high and illustrious personage ; but the illus-
trious personage for whom the robe was made, would have
sooner gone without it, were she aware of the fact, than have
been the means of imposing such toil on the young creature
who made it.—(Hear.)
The Rev. T. ARCHER seconded the resolution. _ _

The Hon. and Rev. MONTAGUE VlLusits supported the
resolution. He bore testimony to the tendency which late
hours of business had to demoralise young men, and make
them indifferent to their religious interests.
The resolution was put and carried unanimously.
Dr. SOUTHWOOD Smrrit bore official testimony to the de-
structiveness of late hours of labour to health and life, and
concluded by moving a resolution—" That an abridgement of
the hours of labour would not only prove of incalculable be-
nefit. to the assistants, but to the employers themselves, and
to society at large."
Mr. OWEN, of Great Coram-street, an employer, and an
active member of the Committee, seconded the resolution,
which was carried unanimously.
The Rev. DANIEL MOORE moved the next resolution—
" That the Metropolitan Drapers' Association, having for its
object the abridgement of the hours of business, with a view
to the physical, moral, and intellectual improvement of the
assistants, is well deserving support, and that this meeting
pledges its hearty co-operation and encouragement, by ren-
dering it every possible assistance, especially by abstaining
for the future from making evening purchases., '
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON seconded the resolution. He re-
joiced to have the opportunity ;of entering into the humane
and Christian design which the meeting had in view. The
excessive hours of labour in the metropolis were deplorable.

If he in any way had been instrumental in contributing to
the advancement of his fellow- creatures, he owed it to this
circumstance under God, that he was not, during those years

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sum,--A short ago a person was prosecuted for riding
a pony to death, and we daily see fines and imprisonment
inflicted for cruelty to animals. We sicken at the details of
these atrocities, but fancy it is is only the sordid, the low, or
the ignorant who perpetrate them. But it is not so. Let us
see : the London papers of Saturday give an account of a
run with the Royal stag hounds, and state that the deer (Sweep)
was taken, dead beaten, at West Wycombe, a distance of up •
wards of 25 miles from the kennel at Ascot, and was obliged
to be killed a short time afterwards. A fine horse, belonging
to Mr. Dyson, of Windsor, rode by Mr. Jenner, and another,
belonging to Mr. Sharpe, of Slough, dropped dead ; a third
horse died at the Crown Inn, Marlow ; and another, making
a fourth, at Beaconsfield. Now, Sir, in what is the differ-
ence of riding horses to death for sport, Or riding them to
death for gam? Are the agonies of the poor animals less in
the one case than the other? Here is cruelty by wholesale;
but will it be noticed? I fear, Sir, that while indignation,
fines, and imprisonment are heaped on the heads of one class
of offenders, these will hear of 'nothing but the splendid run
they have had with the Royal stag hounds. You have al-
ways been the advocate of the oppressed, can you not devote
a little time and space to this subject?

COMMANDS IN CHIET.—The following Commanders-
in-Chief will be relieved in the course of the present year,
as their periods of service will have expired :—Of the Pacific
station, Rear-Admiral Thomas, appointed sth of May,lB4l ;
of the West India and North American station, Vice-Admi-
ral Sir C. Adam. K.C.8., appointed 17th August, 1841 ; of
the Mediterranean, Vice-Admiral' Sir E. W. C. R. Owen,
K.C.8., G.C.H., appointed 14th October, 1841; and of the
Brazils and Cape of Good Hope station, Rear-Admiral the
Hon. Jocelyne Percy, C.B. appointed 17th December, 1841.
Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, K.C.8., of the East India sta-
tion, appointed 12th May, 1841, is already succeeded in the
command -in-chief by Rear-Admiral Sir T.Cochrane, K.C.8.,
who was second in command in the East Indies ; Captain
Chads, of the Cambrian, hoisting a commodore's broad pen-
dant, as second in command to Sir T. Cochrane. The admi-
rals and captains, superintendants of the dockyards, with
the exception of Portsmouth and Malta, were appointed in
1841 ; but these officers hold their commissions for five years.
POST-OFFICE CHANGES.—It has already been men-
tioned that a considerable increase has taken place in the
number of twopenny-post letter carriers, and that a further
increase was expected to take place in a few days. Since
then two sub-sorters and three extra stampers of letters have
received appointments, and an additional number of letter-
carriers, making a total of one hundred in addition to the
ordinary strength of the establishment. Two houses have
also been taken, one at the corner of Old-street-road, and
the other situate in the vicinity of Brunswick-square. These
tenements are now fitted up as sorting offices, similar to
those now employed for that purpose in different parts of the
metropolis. The object of these changes is an increase in the
delivery of letters, andwhen the arrangements are concluded,
which they will be in a few days, the public will have three
extra deliveries of twopenny-post letters daily. There is an
opinion, though nothing has yet publicly transpired, that the
deliveries will be increased to ten per diem, and that the
change will take place immediately after the fficial quarter-
day, the sth of the present month.
THE INDIA MAIL. Yesterday morning the
monthly mail for Gibraltar, Malta, Greece, Egypt, India, and
Hong-Kong was made up at the General Post-office, St.
Martin's-le-Grand, and forwarded by the Great Liverpool
steamer, via Southampton. There were 97 boxes, besides
smaller packages, of letters. Theoverland closed'mail of the
4th instant, via Marseilles, is detained until Saturday, the
6th instant. The following new postal arrangements came
into operation yesterday, the Ist of April :—" Letters may
be sent unpaid, rid France, to the following countries and
places, or the postdge may be paid to destination, viz., the
Austrian dominions, the free city of Cracow, Moldavia, Wal-
lachia, Turkey in Europe, together with the town of Scutari
in Asia. Letters may also be sent through France unpaid
to. Southern Poland and Southern Russia. The combined
British and foreign rate of postage to be taken on a single
letter weighing less than a quarter of an ounce for the above-
mentioned countries, will be as follows :—To the Austrian
dominions, the free city of Cracow, and the city of Belgrade,
Is. sd. ; Moldavia and Wallachia, Is. 9d. ; Turkey in Eu-
rope (Belgrade excepted) and Scutari in Asia, Is.
11d. ; Southern 'Poland and Southern Russia, Is. Gd.
Letters to Greece, the Archipelago, the lonian Islands,

and Placentia, are charged Is. 3d. ; British and foreign pest-
age, or the British rate only (5d.),• may be paid. Those
letters which are directed to the German and northern States

to be forwarded through the Office of Tour and Taxis, if not
posted unpaid, must in future be paid to destination. The
next mails for Madeira' the West Indies, Mexico, Honduras,
Havannah, Bahamas, Chagres, and New Granada, will be
made up this morning, the 2d inst., to be forwarded by the
Tay steamer, vie' Southampton ; British North America,
Bermuda, and the United States, in the evening of the 3d
instant (to-morrow), by the Acadia steamer, vid Liverpool ;
Brazils and Buenos Ayres, on the 3d instant, by her Majesty's
brig. Express, vid Falmouth.
EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH OF LETTERS.--.-011e
_ _

of the largest dispatches of letters ever made from the General
Post-office took place yesterday morning. The mails to
Malta, Greece, the lonian Islands, Guadeloupe, Martinique,
Curagoa, St. roix, and Porto Rico, when made up occupied
upwards of 100 boxes. At a moderate estimate, each of these
boxes contains 5,000 letters, and taking the number of boxes
at 100, the number of letters amounts to half-a-million.
They were taken to the terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way in six Post-office vans, which were opened at the top for
the purpose of receiving them from the ship letter-office, on
the east side of the portico.
THE WILL FORGERIES.—After the final examina-
tion of the prisoners on Saturday, Mrs. Dorey was taken into
the presence of her sister, and Sanders was subsequently in-
troduced to them in one of the waiting-rooms of the Man-
sion-house. The meeting of the sisters was stated to have
been very affecting. The son of Sanders and Lydia Sanders,
a lad about nineteen years of age, was present at the melan-
cholya-
interview, and the father took the opportunity of d

Established Church, was held at the Hall of Commerce,
Threadneedle-street. The chair was taken by John Labou-
chere, Esq. The objects of the Institution are, the promo-
tion of union among the several Sunday-schools in and
around the metropolis ; the supplying of teachers with such
information upon various subjects as shall tend to the advan-
tage of Sunday-schools in general, &c. The Chairman also
referred to the advantage derived from the Institution, and to
the extension of education in general. Several reports, &c.,
were read ; after which, resolutions in accordance were agreed
to, and the proceedings terminated.
STEPNEY FAIR.—It may be recollected that a fair
was held last Easter and Whitsuntide at Stepney, after it had
been suppressed by the magistracy, as a nuisance, for 25 years.
The conduct of the countless thousands who attended it was
very orderly, and the absence of outrages formed a striking
contrast to the tumultuous scenes winch yearly took place
before interference for its suppression. The experiment
having succeeded so well last year, and:the police authorities
not deeming it advisable to interfere with the harmless
amusements of the people as long as they were properly con-
ducted, the fair is to be repeated at Easter.
THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
—Her Majesty has ordered' that the State apartments at
Windsor Castle shall be open for the admission of the public
on Good Friday—a day on which, it may be observed, the
State rooms have invariably been closed throughout the year.
Orders to the above effect were issued yesterday from the
office of the Lord Chamberlain.

,DIN SUICIDI%.

Last evening, at seven o'clock, a protracted inquiry took
place before Mr. W. Payne, coroner for the city of Loncion,
at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, touching the death of Mary
Griffin, a remarkably fine young woman, aged about thirty
years, lately filling the situation of housekeeper to Mr. G.
Scratchley, surgeon, of 168, Fleet-street. -
Mr. Charles Scratchley, who described himself as a private,
tutor in a family resident at Peckham, said he was on alsisit,
to his brother on Saturday last, and went to bed in flick sur-
gery behind the shop shortly before one o'clock on Sunday
morning. About quarter past one he heard some person come
into the room, and upon calling Ont " Who's that ?" the de-
ceased replied " Mary." Witness inquired what she had
come into his room for, and the deceased said to request
him to intercede for her with his brother, who had threat- ,
ened to give her into custody for some robberies which he
charged her with having committed-in his house. Witness
said that if she confessed the truth, he was willing to do so, .
and the deceased's answer was a solemn denial of the clam
imputed to her. Witness thought she was intoxicated, and
desired her to go to bed, adding that in the morning he would
speak to her on the subject she had alluded to. The deceased
then said she had taken poison, but considering it an idle
threat, witness took no notice, and shortly after she went up
stairs. In about a quarter of an hour she came down again
into the shop, and turned the gas on, when witness, fearing
something serious, got up, and on looking through the sur-
gery window, found she had a large bottle to her mouth con-
taining laudanum. Before witness could wrest it from her,
she had drunk a considerable quantity, immediately after
which she became insensible, and witness having.laid ,her
down on the floor of the passage, went up stairs to call the
assistant, his brother being from home at the time. • Witness
also sent for his brother and Mr Day, of Salisbury-square;
and in the interval, before their arrival, administefed four
powerful emetics, which had no effect. When Mr. Day
came, lie applied the stomach-pump, but deceased never
rallied, and died about half-past 6 o'clock on Sunday morning.
A Juror (Mr. Watson)—You say that you are a private
tutor; are you not a clergyman ? Witness—Yes, I am a
minister of the Church.
Mr. Watson—During the time the deceased was in the
surgery with you, did she not cry very bitterly? Witness--
Yes, she did cry a great deal, and very bitterly.
Mr. Watson—Did you hear her make a charge against
some person ? Witness—No.
Mr. Watson—Did you not hear her say that some person
had been the cause of all her trouble? Witness—Yes, I did.

Mr. Watson—Against whom did she make that charge?
Witness—Oh, against me.
Mr. Watson—Did she charge you with having seduced
her? Witness—No; I think not. I believe the words were
that I had ruined her.

Mr. Watson asked the witness whether he did not teconect
deceased sayinc, " God and you only- knOW that you have
seduced me, and the sin is all on your head." The witness
replied, that he had paid no attention to what deceased said,
and did not recollect the conversation which occurred. If the
jury would put questions, he would answer.
A juror thought the witness might recollect so serious a
.matter, having occurred so short a time previous. -
The ConoxEu—Did the deceased say anything similar to
the observations you have just heard? Witness—She did.
Mr. Watson—Were you in the habit of coming to your
brother's on Saturday? Witness—Yes, I came to preach. •
Mr. Watson—Not at twelve o'clock-at night ? Witness--
\o; on the next day.
Mr. Watson—Why did you not mention that which has
just been elicited?. Wituess—My reason was that I thought
it was not material to the case.
The CORONER said it was very material, in order that the
jury might judge of deceased's state of mind ; whether she
was under a false impression, might be considered afterwards.
• In answer to a question from the Coroner, whether he had
been intimate with the young woman, witness said, I deny
the charges. My impression is (checking himself.)
No, Sir, 1 wish to say nothing.
The witness here sat down.

wife of Mr. Watson, of 167,. Fleet-
street, said she lived next door to Mr. Scratchley, and while
in her back parlour, about one o'clock on Sunday morning,
she heard a woman crying very bitterly in that gentleman's
surgery. The partition between the rooms was very thin, and
witness heard deceased say, " You have seduced. me—you
have -brought me to this." Some one replied, " You are a
liar ;" and deceased said, " I am no• liar—God and you know
lam not—you alone have brought me to it." Witness heard
much talking afterwards, but could not catch the precise
words, and about an hour after heard a great moaning as of
a person in extreme pain.
I%lark Gosling, an errand boy in Mr. Scratchley's service,
deposed to having heard deceased threaten to stab Mr. Chas.
Scratchley between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday even-
ing, when she was perfectly sober. He said she had been in a •
desponding state for several weeks, and generally cried very
much when Mr. C. Scratchley came.
The CORONER having remarked on the extraordinary na-
ture of the case, said he thought it was most desirable before
the inquiry was closed, that some of the deceased's friends
should be present, an opinion in which the jury unanimously
concurred, and the inquiry was accordingly adjourned until
Thursday next, the Coroner giving directions to the sum-
moning officer to insure their attendance on that day.

WOLVERHAMPTON, APRIL I.—On Monday next a
great free trade meeting will be held here, for the purpose of
receiving a deputation from the National Anti Corn-law
League, consisting of Mr. Cobden, M.P.; J. Bright, M.P. ;
R. Moore, Esq., and the meeting will be attended by the
borough Members, Hon. C. P. "Villiers, and S. 'homely,
M.P. As we have no building large enough to contain one-
half of the people that will attend at this gathering, an im- -
mense pavilion is now being erected expressly for the .
occasion ; and there is no doubt but this meeting will be by
many thousands the more numerous, and by far the most im-
portant in-door meeting ever held in Wolverhampton.
BATTLE EXTRAORDINARY.—As Mr. Compton, of
Southfield, near Lea, Wilts, was walking through a field in~
the parish with his gun, his attention was engaged by a hawk •
hovering over what he imagined to be a mouse. After due
:deliberation, he suddenly made a dart at his intended victim, •
'and which proved to be a weasel. The old adage. " catch a
weasel asleep," held good in this instance ; the weasel saw
his danger, and instantly seized the hawk by the head. A
severe struggle here ensued, but at last the hawk succeeded
in disengaging himself, and - got away. Nothingdauntede
however, he returned to the conflict as game as at the first ;
the struggle then recommenced, and very soon after the
weasel was seen dragging the dead hawk towards the hedge,•
when Mr. Compton shot the weasel, and found the hawk, as
before described, quite dead, and his head bitten entirely
through in several places.—Hampshire Advertiser.
SUICIDE OF THE GROOM OF SIR J. KEY.—Yes-
terday Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., coroner, held an inquest at the
Watermen's Arms, Old Brentford, on the body of Charles
Shephard, aged 23 years, groom to Sir John Key, whose body
was found floating in the river Thames on Friday last. On
the bank had been discovered deceased's hat; in it was found
a pair of leather gloves; in which was the following letter in
the deceased's handwriting, in pencil :—" Dear Father and
Mother,—l• wrote this with a broken heart to you, and dare
say it will hurt yours as well when you'll hear of my last
end. I had a good place, that you know, but Mrs.
hindered me of it by giving me such a shameful cha-
racter, which I did not deserve. I know I have done
wrong, but I could not help it. After my travelling
about with an empty stomach day after day, and suf-
fering so much as I did, and then getting a place, I thought
Mrs. would not hinder me from it ; but she is capable
of saying anything, and very likely she will suffer Bret, if
not in this world, in the next to come. So good bye and God
bless you all. Give my love to all my sisters, awl I hope
they will do well in the world and take care of themselTes.
I have one wish before I die, which is, that my sister Jane
should have my Bible that Lady Key gave nie. It is at Mr.
Pearman's, and I hope she will take care of it for my sake.
So no more from your broken-hearted brother, Charles Shep-
hard." On the envelope was written, " Charles Shepherd
now lies beneath the water, all through Mrs. preVenting
me from a good place, and made me broken-hearted."
Verdict—" Found drowned, supposed by his own act ; but as
to the state of his mind, there was no evidence to show."
While the jury were signing the verdict, Hughes, the con-
stable of Brentford, asked the Coroner what was to be done
with the deceased's clothes. The reason of his asking was,
that the friends of the deceased were too poor to bury him,
and the expense would, therefore, fall on the parish of
Ealing, the officers of which had directed him to seize the
clothes on their behalf, towards defraying the expenses.
Mr. Wakley, who, with the jury, appeared much surprised
at the orders of the parish officers, said, " Give the poor fel-
low's things to his mother, and leave the body- for the parish
officers."

CITY OF LONDON GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.—
Yesterday a general meeting of the donors and subscribers
to this charity was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street, for the purpose of electing six pensioners out of a list,
of fourteen candidates, to participate in the benefits afforded
by the institution. Thomas Davies, Esq., in the chair. The
report of the last year stated that the society was leunded in
1818, for providing a permanent relief to decayell artizans,
mechanics, manufacturers, tradesmen, and the widows of
such persons, above sixty years of age, by a monthly allow-
ance, which at the present time amounts to 1/. 2s. per month
to men, and 15s. to women. The income of the society during
the past year amounted to 1,7941. 12s. 6d., and the expendi-
ture (including 6281. 7s. paid to pensioners, and 5()0/ in-
vested in the life fund) to 1,477/. 17s. 11d., leaving a balance
at the Bank of England in favour of the society of 316/.
14s. 7d. The sum collected at the last annual dinner, at
which Lord John Russell presided, amounted to 934/.ls. 6d.,
an amount exceeding, by nearly. 2501., that received at the
previous festival. The bank stock of the society now amounts
to 5,6041.65. 4d. The number of pensioners on the society's
books are at present sixty-six. The election of yesterday
will increase them to seventy-two. The ballot closed at

to take effect on the Ist day of October next ensuing. The
factory inspectors are authorised to appoint certifying sot;
geons, for the purposes of the Act, and to fix the amount of
their fees. Full powers are conferred on the inspectors of fac-
tories, for the purposes of ascertaining the real age of chil-
dren to be employed therein. Special provisions are enacted
for the annual lime-washing of factories, the protection of
the workers in wet-spinning flax-mills, the due guarding and
boxing-off of machinery, and the general prevention of acci-
dents, as well as for their cure, if any should unfortunately
occur. The hours of working for children and
_young persons
are to be observed with strict regularity. Respecting the
peculiar, clauses relative to the time of working, we may
simply state, that children may be employed in fac-
.tories at eight yearB of age; that no child is to lie
• employed more than six hours and a-half per diem, except
in certain cases (hereinafter specified); that no woman
above 18 years of age is to be employed in any factory, save
for the same time and in the same manner as " young per-,
sons" may be employed in factories; and that work is to
cease on Saturdays at half-past four o'clock, P.m., &c. In any
factory in which the labour of young persons is restricted to
ten hours a day, it will be law?ul to employ any " child" tin
hours in any one day, on three alternate days of every week,
• provided that such child shall not be in any way, employed
in the same or in any other factory on two successive days,
&c. Provision is Made fur recovering the time lost: by par •
tial stoppages, and additional regulations made with respec,t,
to meal times, and holidays, and theattendance of children at
school. Silk mills arc exempted from certain provisions of
thisi BaLit being enacted that any child above eleven years
(ldemplora solely in the. winding and throWing of raw silk
may work without any proof of having attended a school for
ten hours a day, hot not after half-past. four o.e.lock.ou
tnrday afternoons. .The 73d or interpretation" clause
enacts that the Factories Act as amended by Ibis Act, arta
this Act, shall bit construed together as one Act that the
word " child" shall be taken to mean a child under thirteen
years of age, and the words 'young person," :1 person aged
thirteen and under eighteen yearsof age, &c. Thus it will be
seen that the disputed question of "ten" or "twelve" hours,
which has already been so strongly contested in the House of
Com Mons, is, in the present or new Bill, tacitly consigned to
the shelf. The Bill will not, of course, be read a second tiino
, until after the forthoraing :Lager recta.
