Carlisle for that discontinue Springer is as

he intends to issue bonds for coin Of
the value of S2 per cent OF q. 5.
gold coin, he evades the allegation
that he is about to issue them for
coin of about 81 per cent. cannot
think that, by such refinement and
casuistry, one of the Kings Minis
tiers, answering by the advice of the
Attorney-General and other respon-
sible counsel, attempts to impose
upon the Court, in violent incon-
sistency with his several denials that
he intends to violate the law
1.-The statement of this respon-
dent is at least credible. There lie
no extreme improbability' in it
The Court will take the answer al
declaring in good faith that the res
pondent is not about to issue bonds
lin any other manner, or for any
other moneys, than is provided fol
by law as construedby the Courts
