As to the bill itself the intention was that the Commissioner WHILE a bricklayer was at work on the scaf should stop any drain on their silver reserve folding outside the Hongkong Hotel shortly by paying gold in exchange for uoles instead before nine o'clock this morning he lost Iris a silver and it was thought advisable to pro- hold and fell to the ground, landing on his, vide in Subsection three Section two that this head.
