Before proceeding to hoist Mr. Taylor with awn petard I should like to mention that no disrespect is meant to Mr. Cecil Mulliday or Sir Charles Fudgeon when I say that it is dif ficult to suppress a smile at the idea of these two level-hended business men sitting at the leet of the oracle: Mr. Taylor, the great au thailty on gold mining, docks and wharves rhetoric.
