A law was passed by the legislature
of New York during its late session,
which promises 70 be of great utility to
the commerce Of that city. The ope-

the National AdVoeate) are very SIM

A curious CIRCUMSTANCE has occurred
~ Great Britain, which reminds US of
the story of the Scotch Judge, who or
dered one half Of the punishment d.
recteJ to be inflicted on criminal, "to
be given 10 the King and The other to
the infOrmer," A law it appears was
lately enacted in Parliament, which
prohibits The 80 publishing any propo,

regulation, published something about

which the editors received notice that
they were to be prosecuted as vnsa.

Judges Interpretation Of the law, the
King has not only incurred the penais

do net think there exists any cause
for these approximations, because the
King may as well be logged By Proxy

Ut would be 10 more than just to select
