Mr. Hall is a supporter of the Bquire- Wii

Mr. Money i+ understood to be opposed to
it. The two men got into a discussion over
the bill,
Mr. Hall remarked that the charges made

on falsehood. Mr. Money demanded to know

whether he meant to assert that those who
made such allegations were not telling the
