One contributor to this fund found
that he had nutiie a mistake in bin reck

that the mistake be rectified. It seem#
that he had brought a ring from Pari*
and thought it to bo very valuable. When
he arrived in port in thin country he
placed on it a valuation that he was
Nurc wan much below the Actual value
in order to escape payment of a high
duty.

took the ring to. m jeweler, who told him
