to this country, we find in Mackenzie's Life Of
Decatur the following: "With regard to the

to be quite at ease, and is lively and pert as it

:, The statute of 1850, section 10, reads thus /:

ing two and half per centum to appropriate a
sum exceeding three thousand dollars for the salary

II will be that the limit for collection is 2.

do not receive the limit; consequently, the Council
do not disregard this important and valuable statute
The fact is, our neghbor writes his legal articles

Inc cholera has nearly disappeared from the
Island, though the disease still fingered in some OF
the parishes. At Seven Rivers, St. James, two or

were really cases of cholera.
