difficulty that arose when the Su-

judgment in regard to Section 5%.

that section of the Act was that it

provisions, It simply laid) down
the proposition that the possession
of liquor in the hands of any per:
son in P. 1. island was unlawful

by this service? That ye shall say

it is the sacrifice of the Lord's

tiand, and delivered our ihouses
—also from the text: Deuteronomy
34-6. And he buried him in a valley
in the land of Moab, over against

‘Both-peon, but no man knoweth of

(Mr. (Mulligan dealt first with the
