The question which now arises is, how long line thin system been going on, or is this the only case? The fact that other gentlemen are also mixed up in transactions of a similar na- ture is certainly not measuring and de- mandsthe most vigomus investigation and the bringing to justice of the ofi‘end- em. There can be no doul‘ but_that the above older of things has been of com- nmn occurrence and.of long standing, uml had it not been discovered would lmve continue}.
