The beds were freely enriched with

with foliage for twenty-four hours but

that II citizens subject 10 the tax stand

general adoption OF this practice would

cede that the general government VIII

people will hardly resort 20 lawlessness In
their efforts to evade the payment OF

It.must be recollocted that the friends
