FLAGRANT RED TAPE.

during the siege of Ladysmith when food
ran short civilians were necessarily
thrown upon the resources of the impe-
rial government for supplies.
The cOmmissariat department were not
authorized to feed the civilian popula-
ton of Ladysmith. which during the
siege numbered about 800, and so it was
found necessary to ask the mayor of
Ladysmith to give his personal guaran-
tee that in case of a demand for COM
pensation on the part of the imperial
government, he would find the money in
payment for the food consumed.
OF course it was never supposed for a
moment that the imperial government
would ever so far forget its obligations
as to demand payment for the supplies,
but it now appears that this demand has
been made in the most peremptory man.
