devise means by which conyicis

be sold at less than market rates;
that not over ten per cent, of the
convicts shall be employed on any
particular industry, and that a Ger.
tain percentage of the revenue
shall be set aside for the support Of

From all we learn Of the affair, we
think it no more than justice for
the Mayor to remit the fue impo

The worst and most disgraccful
row took place about II o'clock in

Of the participants being drunk
