Mr. HABRISON also tells us that the majority of these foreign residents on entering the settlement, signed a written undertaking whereby they agreed to pay heir proper share of such local levies as might be deemed requisite from time to time for the upkeep of the settlement. In these circumstances the action of certain foreigners in refusing to contribute to the maintenance of the community in which they live and whose protection they enjoy certainly seems ungenerous, to say thelast.
