IMPORTANT TO INVALIDS . THE . Proprietor of DR . HAMILTON'S V 5 TAL PlLLS , feeling convinced that the innate good properties of this Medicine , must by t he recommendations of those who experience its benign t-fficaoy , ( in many instances after all other on at' * lid failed ) do more to bring it into notice , than anything else , has abstained from publishing cases of curs , and the more so ,-as he well knows the frauds that are constantly practised upon the public b y fictitious or manufactured cases , which causes little : aith to be attached i o such statements . But how d ifi ' Tent ib ii with tho 89 persons who are eye witnesses of the Curative powers of a Medicine in their o ^ u imme-, diato neighbourhood ; these , indeed , strike home to the convictions of every one under whose notice they happen to fall . The entire columns , of a newspaper would be totally inadequate to contain a fiftieth part ; of the details of previous euifrring , and the joyous expression of giatitude in th *; numerous letters he has received . But he disdains to agitate the public mind with them , knowi > g fuli well , that the Medicine having gained a tooting , alike in the mansions of tho peer and the ^ ita ^ es of the peasant , nothing can stay its course , m-r ^ there a civilized , portion of the globe wherfj it wtII not uUimatelv be kaown and prized as the ^ rua , restorer of health .

ARTHUR O'CONNOR ON THE STATE OF IRELAND . ON MONDAY next will be puWished , m Numbers , "The State of Ireland , " written in 1798 , by Arthur O'Connor . The whole will be comprised ia Two Numbers ot Thirty two Pageseach , samesiz J , and nuy be bound up with tbo Lancaster Trials , pric , Fourpence each Number . Tnis Work will furnish a better compendium of Irish History ., and a more correct Account of the Grievances of that Country than any that &as ever appeared upon the subject . The following is tho Dedication with which it will be introduced to that Party to whose co-operation the Editor looks for the correction of those Evils under which his Country so unjustly suffers : — DEDICATION TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND . Mr Friends , —Waile the existence of Irish grievances is denied , aud , while the history of that do voted country is but little understood , I hope by the publication of the fo'lowing work , written by AtUiur O'Cosnor in 1798 , to funrsh such a compendium of Irish history , and such a ca'alojcue of Iri .-h grievances , as will ia somewise satisfy the sceptic . Tbe reader , whes perusing the staff * of Ireland as described by Arthur O'Connor in 1798 , would , if dates were omitted , imagine that ho was reading the present history of that country . In it will be found the real and substantial grievance 01 which Ireland then complained , and not one of which jip to the present hour have been redressed . Tne author assigns the law-church , and the application of its educational funds , and the Irish landlord ? , and their management of their properties , as amongst the greatest xrievances of that country ; he shows the pernicious effect ot' the laws of proiotfeiiiture , of settlement , and entail , aud their minute connexion with the state church and its dependent ? . Uf > cn the subject of the Land , he contends , as I contoid and as every honest man must contend , that no cj . uiitry can be considered prosperous or her people indcp'' ndent wheriu the system of proprietorship of small farms , and Universal Suffrage , do not form the base of her social and political iustiiutions . Had I looked for a compilation of matter pertinent to the preseat position of all classes in this empire , I could not have gleaned from all aneieru and modem writers , as much valuable matter as Us contained in the state of Ireland which I a : n about io ropublish . As , however , it id well known that scores of prostitute historians have been hired by the taglish Ministry from time to ticae to give such a colouring to the revolution of 1798 as would suit their own purposes , and which has gone far to leave Ireland without record to be relied upon , it may not be amiss to giv « j a brief 6 keteh of the political life of the anther . Arthur O'Connor , in 1793 , was appointed High Sheriff of his native county , Cork ; in the discharge of his duties during office , he introduced so matiy reforms , and evinced such a leaning towards democracy , that the aristocracy of the county took alarm . In 1795 he was returned for Phillips ' . own , a pocket borough of his uncle Lord Longuevilte , - and in the following year whon the question of Catholic Emancipation was discussed in the Irish Houso of Commons he made that celebrated speech in favour of Complete Emancipation which remains fresh in the minds of the Irish people , and which cau never be effaced . For that speech he sacrificed £ 20 , 000 a year aud a peerage ; and refuesd to retract one sentence that it contained , upon the understanding that both should in such case be conferred upon him . In 1796 he established the 4 i Northern Star" newspaper , which was subsequently suppressed by military force . When that Paper was destroyed he established the Press newspaper ; and so powerful an opponent was it looked upon by tbe English Minister , that it was thought impossible to effect a Union between the two-countries so long at that journal existed . Arthur O'Connor was then attacked by all the powers at the disposal of the English Minister and the Irish Exrcutiv 3 . The Press was destroyed . He wes tried at Ma ' . dstbne-on the 2 lst and 22 ad of May , 1798 , for High T .-daeon : three months after he had published the work" which I a in now about to republish . From 1797 to the end of 1799 , when ihe Union had been effected by an incalculable amount of blood and treasure , Arthur O'Connor was transmitted from prison io prison , and from dungeon to dungeon , until , at length , the powers of tyranay became too powerful for the individual ; and he was compelled to submit to banishment for life . Ho will lives , having seen more than fourscore years , vigorous in body , and sound in mind : perhaps tho best specimen that Europe can furnish of a patriot , a statesman , a scholar , a politician , and a gentleman . He married the only daughter of tbe celebrated French philosopher , the Marquis Condorcet : and that he may live to see that Union Repealed which he laboured so honestly to prevent , is the sincere wish of his nephew , and your devoted friend . FEARGUS O'CONNOR No . 1 , will be in ihe bands of A&ents on Monday next , the 19 h ; and may be had of Cleave , London ; Heywood , Manchester ; Hobson , Leeds ; aud all Booksellers in town aud country .

Beownisg . —On Thursday last , an inquest was held at the honse of Mr . Irson , the Boll and Sun Inn , High Court-lane , Kirkgate , before John Blackburn , Esq ., coroner , on the body of John Dennis , who _ was taken out of the river , on the previoos day . The deceased was a waterman , and came from Ae-crington , in Lancashire , and the last time he was seen alive was about a fortnight previously , at which time he left the Black Horse , in Wharfe-street , about ten o ' clock in the- evening At that time he was perfectly sober , and irom the best evidence that could be obtained , he went directly on board the vessel on which he was engaged , from which it is supposed that he fell whilst walking along the deck , as a splash was heard by a man who was in a neighbouring vessel ; bnt he on looking oni could « not see anything in the water , nor did he hear any persons about . The deceased was missed the
nexi nioTiiing , anti the river has since been dragged wiihout the body having besn discovered . ^ Phe body floated on Monday evening , opposite Kirk Ings Wharf , and was seen directly afterwards and got out j the features were very much discoloured . He was abont thirty-five years of age . Verdict * Foued drowned . " Abtjfigiai . Teeth —We were long inclined to be very sceptical about the value of these appendages of mod . rn date . We were disposed certainly to rank them among things had
** For ornament much more than use . " We wre unable to perceive how they could be fiseo in the mouth so as not to be either very trou-Blesoaie , very unsafe in their posiuons , or very painful in ihe operation of first fixing . We had heard of springs , wires , holes bored in the jaw , Ae . ; and : our association of ideas on the matter were of no comfortable character . Nor could we brings ourselves to think that , under any circumstances , could ihese substitutes be made to serve the purposes of mastication . This i 3 however ihe age of demonstration and discovery , and we have lived to learn thai toothless old men may be renovated in their ** grinding department , " till ihe imitation may possibly exceed the quality of the originals . We
have had opportunity of personally observing the beautiful imitation of nature which are given in the mineral teeth of Messrs . Major and Co ., whose advertisement our readers will find elsewhere ; we have seen the simple process by which those teeth are fixed in any kind of a month where they are wanted j we have seen them tested by application to all the purposes for which teeth are useful ; we know parries who have had , and used them for years , and we can certainly assure our readers that as many of them as are plagued with bad or n ^ ly ^ teeth need be so no longer , for the Messrs . Major and Co . have so coaxing a method with the mouth that deformity disappears before them , and want of power to eat becomes a thing unknown save when food or incline ation may be missing . We can seriously recommend these jjentlemen to the patronage of " all who need their aid . Their artificial teeth are so well formed ihat they resemble exactly the most
perlecdy . formed natural teeth ; tbev are fixed in the mouth , wiihont the leas * pain or any difficulty ; they remain in their places without any trouble or inconveniencej they soon become perfectly famiiiar to the mornh , so as to cause fco unpleasant sensation ; and , what is best of all , yon may bite a crust or chew any ordinary food with them a 3 easily and safely as if they were natural teeth . We have already said that we Fpeak from personal observation . We know parties who have worn them for years . We have also known parties who derive 4 great benefit from Messrs . Slsjor snd Co ^ in the cleansing , purifying , and beantisying of their teeth . We have setn some shocking mouths among our own personal friends pnt into firm order in one dressing . We repeat , therefore , that all persons who have bad teeth , ujjly teeth , or no teeth at ail , should go at once to Messrs . Major and Co ., who wfli speedily make them " all right . "

On previous occasions , however , it is said , the cost of the Visitation dinner , &c . has been from twenty to thirty pounds .

"" IRELAND . MR , O'CONNELL IN MALLOW . ^ ( From the Cork Examiner of Monday Evening . ) Maixow , * Stjkday Night . —In no part of Irelund has there been a demonstration more magnificent and inspiring than that of which Mallow was the theatre this day . In nnmbers it was fully equal to any that has yet been made—in enthusiasm it could cot be surpassed—indeeoruin and regularity , it was preeminently imposing—and iu the determination evinced by the countless thousands who formed the ** body guard" of the Liberator , it was calculated to dissipate the idea thas the people can be satisfied without legislative independence . The preparations for the demonstration were conducted with zaai and
perseverance , and have been crowned with signal success . For weeks past the Very Rev . Dr . Collins , P . P ., and clergy of the town and neighbouring parishes exerted their just influence to impress upon their flocks the imperative necessity of obedience to the laws and deference to the authorities , lessons to wbich the strictest attention was yielded . Cautions were ^ i ven that the slightest injury should not be done to the plantations of the gentry—that not a bough should be cut without leave of the proprietor , and in no instance was the injunction violated . Af ; er first mass , tne Very Rev / Dr . Collins , in a brief but eloquent and energetic exhortation , took occasion to repeat the wholesome advice he had so frequently here
given . A party of the ZOth Hussars arrived the day before yesterday from Baltincollig , and two companies of . the 55 ih Regiment , under Major Leghton , and a large body of police , has been brought in from the surrounding districts . Captain Douglas , the stipendiary magistrate for Mitchelstown , has been her * also ; but having witness , d the orderly and peaceable demeanour of the thousands who assembled in Cbarleviile and other parts of the country within the last few weeks , and apprehended no infringement on the law , he had the soldiers and police confined to the barracks for tbe day—though it would hare been as well to hare allowed them to mingle witn the masses , by whom they would be treated as friends and brothers .
Tho Liberator slept last night at the residence of the Rev . Mr . M'Carthy , in Mitchelstowo . He was received there with theiliveliesp demonstration of respect , attachment , and veneration . Bands played through the Btreets till an advanced hour of the night , and this morning ft was ewlent that the whole population intended to accompany him in triumph on- Ms route to ! Mallow . The amateur band , dressed in their gay uniform , left at nine o ' clock , accompanied by an . immense concourse in cars , carriages , on horseback and on foot ; and as they moved onwards the crowds were augmented at every point by tributary thousands , merry -hewted
and buoyant , and pressing , in spiteof heat and dnst , to the centre of attraction—the town of Mallow . Mr . O'Connell arrived inJ Doneraile at two o ' clock , accompanied by the Head Pacificator of Ireland . There he was received by the Reverend Dr . Collins , and other gentlemen , members of the committee . Every honse was decorated with boughs and flWers —arches spanned the streets—the myriads by whom he was accompanied , making the welkin ring with their soul-stirring acclamations , and taking the most tender care that the slightest injiiry should not be done to the tao ? t hdpU's ; infant , Ltmdrtds of whom were carrkd in tb-. ir mothers' arms . Here Dr . Collins took a seat beside the Liberator and the

immense cavalcade moved on , joined at intervals by new accessions—the bands playing national and martial airs . The procession , left for Mallow at one 0 clock . : i It wpnld be impossible to calculate the number , which were folly equal to , if they did not ; surpass , those who formed the memorable gathering in Cork on the occasion of the Liberator ' s last triumphant entry . The procession formed into line , under the directions of the stewards , whose orders were imphmtly obeyed . The procession w < 3 nt on in tbe most admirable order , amid the vehement cheering of the myriads and the music of forty bands . The heights and fields were crowded with epectators i and , according to the estimate of the best calculators , there could not have been less than four hundred thousand
ver-« ms congregated when Jthe procession reached Mallow . Cheer followed cheer in rapid succession , and as the Liberator acknowledged the shonta by exclaiming , " Old Ireland " - " It-eland for the Irish " — Keaeal —the enthusiasm should be witnessed to be appreciated . There were few repeal wardens without their insignia oi office . The inhabitants of the districts in which the repeal fund has been collected , exhibited their cards either on the top of the wands which taey carried , , o r on the front of their hats , or suspended from the : coat button ; and as a manifestation ot enthusiasm ; and determination , we have not witnessed , as we seteout by stating , anything which surpassed this . The . procession having gone through the town , returned ; to a large area , where a platform was erected and where the meeting was held , Tne platform was crowded , and a countless multitude occupied the apace in front .
The Very Rev . Dr . Collins was called by acclamation to the chair . Mr . R . B . Babry read the petition , which was proposed by W . Tract , Esq ., seconded by Patrick Scully . Esq . ' J The Rev . Mr . M'Carthy , C . C ., Mallow , then read an address to the Liberator . Mr . O'Cornbll then caina forward , and was received with tremendous cheering , which was repeated again and again for several minHtea . When silence was restored , he proceeded to observe that there was one thing ] which gave him pleasure , and that was the length of time he enjoyed the confidence of the people , and the ready obedience they paid to his word , as if it was a command : they assembling
in their hundreds of thousands , aa they would assemble , joining with him in carrying out the great prinoipie of peaceful agitation and restoring to the country the national dignity of which it was deprived —( hear , hear , and loud cheering . ) Ireland had been branded and vilified—the tongue of the defamer had calumniated her—and she was laughed at as well as 6 he had been insulted—( hear , hear , hear)—and even one of the heads of the present administration branded her inhabitants as aliens in blood , ini language , and in religion , and when he was taunted with making distinctions between Saxon and native , small blame to him—but when he was so taunted he could say that he heard it from the man who was one of the heads of their
administration , buii who , when be made fche distinction , was a simple peer of Parliament—he heard that man say tbatilreland was alien in languageiu religion—( groans ) . He hoped they would not groan him—when he beard him say that th ? y wore aliens in language , ; he replied that talking tho same language , the Saxons spoke it with a hissing , croaking tone , whilst the Irish poured it out from the heart , and gave the significance of cordiality to the words they utterdf- (/ oud cheers ) . Yes , the Lord Chancellor of England made the taunt . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was standing by Lord J . Russell at the time it was made . ! Lord John avowed he heard it afterwards in the Houfee of Commons . The Chancellor could not deny it , and he ( Mr . O'Connefl ) threw back
aliens in t ^ eir teeth ; and said the Irish were not Saxons ( cheers ) He spoke of the example they were giving to the world—but he would not speak without witnesses . He was counsel for Ireland—the people were his olients—he had none other—he gave up the profession in which he had been bred , and , in which he was successful , and now for the remainder of his life , which would not be long—( cries of" God forbid ")—he was resolved to derose himself to the ' advocacy of the Irish people and old Ireland—( vehement cheers ) . And the first proposition he proposed in the face of Europe—for humble as he was , Europe listened to his words—and they were carried by the wild winds of heaven to the shores of free America . His first proposition , tken , was that the Irish were the first people
on the face of the earth ; they were the most moral , thft moat temperate , the most orderly , the most religious people iq the world—( loud cheer ?) . He said that they exceeded in religion , in morality , and in temperance , any nation on the face of the earthrenewed cheering ) . It was the practice of the alien Saxons- ^ he thanked Lynduurst for the word —to boast of their superiority . The contest was between them and him . He would prove his case , and Europo would be his witness . The honourable arid learned gentleman referred at considerable length to the appropriation Of rhe tithe rent charge , 1 to tho ballot , the fixity of tenure , the absentee drain . &c , & « ., and after observing on the threats of physical violence with which
they were menaced ; he cautioned the people to keep themselves within the limits of the law , and let those who threatened them attack if they dare- —( loud applause . ) The honourable and learned gentleman then went on at some further length to comment on the threats of Peel Jand Wellington , and on the unconstitutional use made of the Queen ' s name , and to the fact that Lord de Grey , in sending down his gunbrigs , asked whether Kilkenny was a sea-port—( laughter . ) The honourable and learned gentleman then referred to the progress of the Repeal rent , and to the influence it was calculated to produce , and exhorted his hearers to enroll themselves in the ranks of the association . He concluded amid vehement cheering , which was reiterated again and again for several minutes . ,
Cheers having been ffivcp in succession for tbe Queen , the Liber ft tor . Old Ireland and . Repeal , the immense multitude separated in the most decorous manner—the squadrons of cavalry ftlingtfffin admirable order under the directions of the leaders to the ' r respective destinations—the cars , carriages , and footmen following , accompanied by their bands and banners .

THE MAIL-COACH CONTRACT . ( From the Evening Post of Saturday . ) There has been a strict investigation , by order of the Post office authorities , respecting the coaches supplied by the Scotch [ contractor , fur tho Irish e&tablishment . This inquiry was made by manufacturers of the highest professional capacity , and by men whosn charroter is a j » uaraateo for their honourable and efficient discharge of the duty . Their report goes into minute details ; but the following letter embodies their opinions : —j Dublin 29 th May , 1843 .
Sir—We beg leave , as desired , to enclose our reports of the mail coaches examined by ue in Dorset street , and cannot close them without expressing our opinion that the manufacture ofj the coaches , with very few exceptions , is of the roughest and most unworkmanlike class . We are also of opinion that tho bodies aud other parts , after some work , ^ 'ill give further and decided evidence of inferior matorials and workmanship . As aj whole , we are of opinion that these coaches are not what any respectable competent coach builder would turn out as wellconstructcd mail coaches , if built i p order . The value of the coaches in question is , in our opinion , at least twenty-five per cent , less thhn that of well-built
coaches . We are , sir , Your obedient servants , JFUOMAS HUTTO . V . John S . Dawson . To George Stowe , Esq ., General Post-office . Here , upon evidence which no ) man can quep * ion , is the result of the change in the contract from Irish to Scotoh manufacturers . LordJLowther talked of a saving of £ 2 , 000 a-jear ; but can that be saving which gives the public , in place q the very best and safest coaches , such articles aslthoRe described by Messrs . Hutton and Dawson fj What the public have obtained is not a saving ] of a shilling , but a loss of twenty-five per cent upon the whole
transaction . ( Is it possible that Sir Robert t ^ eel can now permit the present arrangement to continue ?

One Law for the Rich and anothee for the Poor . —A case occurred at Marlborongh-street police office on Monday , which fojrmshes another beautiful illustration of the fae ^ frhich we have often had occasion to insist on—namely , that there is one law for the rich , and another for the poor . The particulars of this case are briefly as follows : — A yonng scion of nobility , ¦ vrho , it seems , was powerfully refreshed with something considerably stronger than tea , was driving in a cab dawn Shepherd-street , aboHt four o ' clock oh Monday morning , when suddenly he caught sight of a cock , and jumping down from bis vehicle , commenced a vigorous pursuit of the bird , and after a ten minutes chase succeeded in bagging it , and was just in the act of driving off with it , when a policeman who happened to be passing at the time—a miraculous interposition , for it is a well known fact that policemen are never to be found
when they are wanted— "knowing the fowl to be the property of a bouse-keeper in the street , pnrsaed and stopped the cab , and took the aristocratic delinquent into custody . " On being brought before the sitting magistrate , that considerate functionary after hearing the statement of the ca .= e , blandly suggcatsd that possibly the cock might have been abducted by way of a lark . The quick-witted policeman instantly caught at this merciful suggestion , and adroitly replied that he thought . lis Worship was right , and that the affair was a meTe joke—nothing more ; whereupon the prisoner was dismissed with a fine of five shillings for having been found drnnk ! The inference we draw from this magisterial decision is , that provided a man be rich and nobly descended , he may bag as many cocks as he pleasea , the circumstances of his wealth and nobility being convincing proofs that he bags them -ynib no felonious intent , but simply by way of a " lark . "
Rebecca again . —Warrants of distress were issued against the parties fined for defrauding Water-street gate , and the constables proceeded to execute them early tbis morning . They reached Brynohwitb about seven o ' clock , where they were informed that Samuel Bowen was only a lodpr-r with his father , and had no effects of his own . The constables then left towards Taleg , but when on the way there they heard the sound of a horn ,- and immediately between 200 and 300 persons assembled together , with their faces blackened , some dressed ia women ' s caps , and others with their coats turned , so as to be completely disguised , armed with scythes , crowbars , and all manner of destructive weapons which they could lay their hands on , and , after cheeriDg the constibles , defied them to do their dnty . The constables then had no alternative but to return to town without executing the warrants . The women were seen running ra all directions io alarm their neighbours ;
and it is supposed that some hundreds more were concealing themselves behind the hedges , and did not intend to make their appearance unless their services were required . We have just sean a person who came through Talog this morning , and wh ^ n he passed the village the whole country seemed to be aroused , and waiting the arrival of the constables , who were going to levy on the premises of John Harries , of Talog Mill , for the amount of the fine and costs imposed on him by the magistrates for non-payment of tolls . There could not have been less than 200 persons assembled to resist tbe execution of the process , and vast numbers were flocking there from all quarters . Our informant states , that on his approaching Talog , a man passed him on horseback , blowing a horn as a signnl to tbe Rebeccaites to repair thither . The magistrates met at the Town-hall to-day , to take the Batter into consideration . We have not been informed to what determination they came . —Carmarthen Journal .

WRECKING IN TYRONE-STRANGE REVELATIONS . Dp . ncannon , Saturday Night . —One of the Repeal party , named O Neill , brought forward a cross charge against an Orangeman named Roddick , for presenting a pistol at him , and the account that he and tys witnesses gave of the transaction was as follows : — He stated that ; when he heard the mu « ic he went out to the roadside with others to look at the procession , and , being the foreinost of the party , Reddick presented a pistol at him , and told him if be did no-go back he w . uld give him tbe game death his fatter got—( the father was shot at his own door some years previous by the
Orangemen , and not owe ; of them wa « ever prosecuted for the murdeT ) . This irritated O'Neill and his friends . They broke one of the drums , and assaulted one of the Orangemen as described . For this assault or affray , provoked it the moment , and wholly unpremeditated on the part of the quarrymen , seven of them have been held to bail to stand their trials ; and on the other side , informations have been taken against Roddick for presenting tne pistol at O'Neill ; thus was the quarry affair so far disposed of . Mr . Caulson and the other magistrates who presided yesterday took iheir Feats on the bench at ten o ' clock , The professional gentlemen on both Bides were in attendants , and the ca * e of the" wrecking " was proceeded wnh .
Mr . Clements read the ' names of the owners of the forty-five houses " ¦ wrecked , " and then oalU-d witnesses who deposed to the destruction ot the houses of John M'Gladugaii , James Duffy , and two other persons . ' James Money deposed that he saw the police and Mr . Wnay standing within about seventeen perches of M . 'G ^ dugan's house , when , the Orangemen were throwing btones at it upon their return to Duugannon . Mr . Clements said for the present he had olosed his case , and what had b- en proved with regard to the few bouses in question was applicable to the whole forty-five . He assured their Worships that such was the state of terror that existed , it was wivti difficulty witnesses had been induced to come forward \ o prove as much as they did . ;
Mr . Butt , said there was onr-of his clients named Patten , who wished to tender peace information against two persons named M'Rorry and M'Glade . Paiiua tihen eume on the table . Mr . Butt—Tell tthe bench what these men said abont threateningiyour life . Patten—Will I tell all that passed ? Mr . Butt—Yes ,: do . Patten—I met irGlade with M'Ror ^ y . Says the latter to me , " Are you alive ? " "I am , " says I . ' You are a fool , " says he , "to have had that meeting in Dungannon , : ; what is it all about : ? I thought that you would be tho last man in the world to bring the wreckers out to mj fathers ' s house ; had I been there that day 5 on would be the very ; first man I should have knocked down . " Then fajs I to him , " the reason of the ' meeting of that day was , that there was orders from the Lord Lieutenant for us to come inland of course use came . "
Mr . Clements—Qh t this is a new light ; ' this is worth the whole proceeding ; go op-Witness in continuation— " Then , " sa * ys he to me , u you are a fool , as the Lord Lieutenant did not treat yon well , forjafter ordering you ill to come in he offers a hundred pounds reward to prosecute you . " "I believe you are right , " says I —( loud laughter ) . Then says M'G . ' acIe to me , "if you ever come the way again jou msy brins your ihoet and coffin with you . " Mr .
