this premiere as he was obstructing my buelams. He brought
a crowd of between 30 and 40 persons rouad the ahop. He
refused to go away, and I was at length compelled to*ive him
Into custody. At the station-house I did not wish to peer
the charge, and consented to hie being released. When I
returned to Levienhall-market I found him in the shop with
40 or 60 man about him. He declared he would have • suit
of clothes or money, and I was compelled to give him into
oustody • second time.
