OF the audience.
1t was not a large audience that Wit
messed the first performance of the drama

This is called scicntcr and until an
owner has this Knowledge OF his dogs

a strictly proper and gentle animal,
and the owner knows Of it, then it
loses status and caste. and must be put
down as a vicious animal, and the
owner keeps it at his peril. Lord Cole

the law on the subject to a nicely in
