Noble Widemann-It was in 1881 that
transaction occurred to which l alluded
| agree with the honorable member that
if we owe the man anything we ought to
pay it. But l do not agree in thinking

for taking three boys 10 Italy. l have
had some experience myself When
went abroad and stayed three months
did not spend so much.
Rep. r Wicox-There is a good deal
of difference between the honorable
Mobiles travelling and that of Moreno

this matter and if it does | shall leave
my seat in this House.
