He protested egainss incricatini lusty kir, I abits among workhoe othtMls, ed that the articles be sent back to the tradesmen who had supplied them, and that o bets of an inferior quality be ordered.— Colonel Barchard, C. 8., ag. eed with Mr. l'!‘herrard that such articles were not required, and seconded the proposition.—Major-General Sic R.
