justifiable control over their employer.. The
Court sentenced them to six months imprisonmet.t,
in compliance with which sentence they were re-
moved on Saturday, under a military escort, and
safely lodged in the county gaol. So obstioutely
are the desperate object* of this association perse-

were leaving the Court on Friday, evitice‘l by hia•ra
and .urines indications of riot' their hostility to the
prosecuting parties and defiance of the laws. Tl►e
Sessions did not conclude till Monday.

Master. Diplomas, or dispensations to hold lodges,
and the appointments of Presidents and Vice-Pre-
sidents issue under the seal of his Royal Dig!muss;
the object and intention of which- is, to resist the
deliverance of our fellow-subjects, the Roman Ca..

striclions under which they suffer.—(l6ld.)
