, Brewer -h6lzs 70 pay large sum OF money
I to secure the removal of the boycott upon
his beer on the ground that the sum eZtOrt-
, cd had been expended in the prosecution of
the boy colt. Gov. Hill makes the point
. that these men did not know they were
violating the law in doing as they did, such
q construction Of their acts never before
{ having been laid down by the courts: thal
Q they did not demand this money secretly OF
for their own ussi that the money was acLu-
ally expended in the boycott, aud that when

7 the expense Of prosecuting bOycotts, the
I ends Of justice have been attained.
