The Advocate General made motion that the libel
filed in the above be admitted TO proof. This is
the third time that said case has been brought IN

intent and in orderthat she should be employed as
transport and storeship in the service of certain
persons assuming to exercise the powers OF govern

Spain. After hearing che arguments the Judge
stated that he would give his decision Wednesday
next.

tons OF coal left in the evening OF the day for

for while the deposits have fallen Off so largely there
is gain OF reserve Of nearly a million and
