very strongly on the matter of mui-tsai,

they might at any rate take the trouble to

inform themselves of the elementary facts

the .of S. would not neces arily regard

quotations from The Slave Market News

which have already been brought to his

notice, as justifying any modification

of the statements which he has made in the

House.
