We needn't go into any
long argument why this is
the right place to buy at,

as our customers, or have
heard of us 'through these
self -same customers. We
only claim what we believe
is the fact, and that is, that
we've the biggest arid best

Mutilated Coins.
Frequently inquire s are received as
to whether or not it i an offense against
the law to pass mut' ted coins. Utter-
ing defaced coins is ot, an "indictable
offense" if weight h not been lessened;
but section 476 of he criminal code
provides that anyon uttering a coin up-
on which any names r words have been
stamped is guilty of n offense and liable
on summary convicti n, to a penalty not
exceeding $10." No rosecution under
this section tau be c nmenced without
leave of the Attorney eneral. Littering
coin the weight of wh eh has been les-
sened by "mutilation' is an indictable
offense punishable wit 1 three years' i►n•
prisonment. Section 75 of the code de•
scribes the offense--' utters as being
current, any gold or s Iver coin of less
than its lawful weigi t, knowing such
coin to have been im ;reel, 'diminished
or lightened, otherwi e than by lawful
wear." The offer o a coin though it
be refused is held to c mplete the offense
of uttering."
