immense fortune accredited to him by the
esteemed Times.

have never been concealed from the mem

obtained, and III tho cases specified BY the
Times. Mr. owen took the risk of loosinG
his time and The expense Of preparing his
cases. or Of winning large remuneration

Would the Times, Or the man who is
Inspiring these stories. deprive Senator
