As the whole Y | means of the unfortunate fellow are not b=!lieved to exceod £20.000 a year, and as tie I necessities of his position compel him to keen ;-1 ut> an establishment which must cost neajriy :1 i £SOO, his case is an extremely hard one. Is e I there no mining millionaire a+ Bendigo who d j will rush to ths rescue of one of his or--11 der, who is in as bad a plight as the ajderui*-n j who had not tasted turtle for a whole week?"
