would strike such blows that no constituency should ever venture to
return Mr. Finn again to Parliament; and he thought that he could

which occurred at a small hotel in Judd Street on Sunday
afternoon, and which, as we observe, was mentioned by one
of our contemporaries. The names, however, were not given,
although the persons implicated were indicated. We can
see no reason why the names should be concealed. Indeed,
as both the gentlemen concerned have been guilty of very
great criminality, we think that we are bound to tell the
whole story,--and this the more especially as certain
circumstances have in a very peculiar manner placed us in
possession of the facts.
