To give some idea 10 how far these Boosting

Mr. Barlow. Subsequently, Mr. klves reduced the
sum, and it gradually fell to 20 millions. Gentle

Every one is enii;led to his own opinion in these

1t appears to me extraordinary that Govern

to SUN Of seventy millions, should consent To re-
duce 1t to % millions"
Living under Government regardless Of every
