This would of course have been very foolish

Mr. Raymond, as it appears, weakly ac-
knowedged in his paper that he didn't
mean what he said in reference to Meagher's
parole, and the latter acknowledged that

painful one. 1t is that Mr.. Raymond had neither
the courage TO obey the law by handing Meagher

by fighting the duel.
