but certainly I heard nothing fan from him which could
fairly bear such an interpretation. (Cheers from the Tna
wry bench.) My right hon. Mend stated, and stated meet
truly, that during the past year there were many please—
the greater past of them being manufacturing and sem-
enamel towns—from which demands were made, not by
the military authorities, but by the civil and inanicipd as-
thorities, for troops to preserve crier. Bat were tholes
troops employed to keep down the people? (Hear, bear )

a certain number of ill-dispceed, ill-affected persons—

promote tumult—in order that they might obtaia Lea

they at full liberty, but they are invited—to swear in'opecial
