Economy

The prices

furnished a pretence

a reason for the high
price paid by Govt to

flesh meat. II. 205
Had Government sent
out apartments of goods
as they promised, this
produce would have
been removed
For want of a supply
that could be
upon, there was a
constant scarcity of
all extra necessaries

The supplies from
free traders were so
scanty and
that more than 500
per Cent was the
ordinary rate of
