Two-roomed cottages, we learn, are letting at from fifteen shillings to twenty-five shillings per week, and four roomed dwellings, in convenient situations, at double these rates, When it is borne in mind that taxes of every description are un known, and a great many of tie owners of Buch domiciles have paid nothing for the land on which they have built, the profits accruing must be very considerable indeed, It is a matter of surprise that tenantable cottages are not built in greater plenty.— Ibid,

As Boon as the robbery became known, immediate inquiries were set on foot to find if , ® D y strangers had been seen within the Camp Reserve during the evening, without however, procuring any clue to llie manner in which

the dating act was accomplished. Tlmt it must have been done by men possessed of nccUßt .°" ,ed. toseize «" opportu nity at whatever risks in order to further P«P»red at all times to meet sudden danger with deliberate boldness -is but too apparent from all the circum stances of the case.
