this resolution, shall sign a declaration to that effect, and also a

The Duke of Marlborough's notices were retrospec ,$.

None of the farmers ever tell their labourers the story I rice
keeping up the price of bread on purpose to keep up the Pf ths
of labour. They would be scouted if they did. Mani °f
labourers have told me that they never were
