Mr. Randolph said that the first time that he had

Mr. Miller said there was no danger that the individual

Mr. Booker stated that Mr.. Clark of the Manchester
mills had purchased $4,000 bushels of inferior wheat in
shells only TO the city mlers that was lost
Mr. Williams said he had documents in his hands to

from the testimony, TO show that the city miles would
not purchase freely of inferior qualities of wheat and
that the existence of two brands of great injury

show that the resolutions were not with the
stated in the testimony, he should be happy hear his
reasoning. lie hoped the gentleman from Buckingham
would withdraw his notion and lay the report

up again this session. Ii very clear that the House
