mr. voysey. Why not?

edward. [gravely.] Because then, Father, there are Banker's half yearly receipts for sums amounting to an average of four hundred and twenty pounds a year. But I find no record of any capital to produce this.

mr. voysey. Go on. What do you find?

edward. Till about three years back there seems to have been eleven thousand in Queenslands which would produce—did produce exactly the same sum. But after January of that year I find no record of this.

mr. voysey. In fact the Queenslands are missing?

edward. I concluded at first that you had not handed me all the papers connected with——
