promised to prosecute.

You say these coolies have no power to lay the traps,133127|

of the house where they like, and the tenaut wont let

them, and the ratoatqher goes away offended, in a care

like this, if after two or three days the occupiers

regalya a notiɑs to have their things turned out for

cleansing and disinfection, simply because an infected

rat was reported to have been found in the lacune, is
