Ar the time of the Governor’s visit to Kingston, a number of flags were borrowed from Montreal, and lent to the citizens for the decoration purposes. During a big blow one afternoon, quite a few were torn and damagod. They were repaired and sent to their owners, who claimed a large sum for the injury the bunting received. The reception committee offered $75, but the Montreal men demanded at least $200, an exhorbitant sum ; but one which is now pressed with the aid of a tirm of lawyers.

We are informed that the refunds made amount to more than double the sum which has been collected by Post Entry. ‘This looksas if .the Government wished the Law to be fuirly enforced and nothing more.
