Since this letter was commenced an import

The charges against the Mercier Government
were Investigated. as mentioned in a former

Gov. Anglers. consisting Of three Judges. Two
OF these were Conservatives. Davidson and
Baby. and one Liberal. Jette Just when the

comes in at o, very favorable moment for Mr.
Nepcier. and is likely to help him not little
