irtersst cordial interest which brought them there.

their TeI ~ which statutory Law, to be
crime I'VE might b. bofiled and .ulked great rhlle
before We could make ali the teeth of this Law meet
with good subjsct between them; we might hivs
to deal with men who could come and disappear As
stiUts could co but there was one thing thst they
coald pot reverse-afler years of discussion the
people in this Empire Stste-the peopie-hsd de-
cared that the making and selling Of Intoxicating
drinks for such purposes was crime. Ihb princi-
