is their working dem% while others were stripped to the

saes, finding themselves thus menaced, sad se they were
sot oely cleansed but considerably less in numbers to their
opposeate, deemed it best to comply in order to avoid mak-
lag any disturbance ; bat so sooner bed they turned to go
towards Gateshead than the large body of armed Bibb*.
