Seruon IN the most positive manner:
Until quite recently Judge Wills had
apparently never handled the business

1t is invariably this sort OF person
who is most positive in his condemna-

We fancy that Judge Wills can be
safely placed in this category. for had
he ever witnessed a boxing contest nc
would never have been guilty Of the
statement we quote above. Is II con-
