4 BANKRUPT SIEGE.

The village of Timer, near Handle. has within these
few days bees the mese of strange coofesioo and motruce,
owing to a bankrupt there barriesdiag his premises, and
standing a siege by the civil power. Possession was gained
end lost two or tt,rre times by the respective parties;
tamely, the bankrupt and his servants and adherents (by
whom lire-arms and missiles were freely used) as the one
side, and the solicitor to the roomnission mil a SIMON party
of assistants um the other.—The principal outrage occurred
on Saturday eight hod, when the house, then in possessioe
of the messenger under the commission, was beset (as it has
been since swore. before Magistrates) bye's. of the basktupts
named io the commission, sod from twelve to twenty tither
who, after spending their asimunitioe of brickbats,
ice. is eadeavouring to regain possession, actually west the
length of swarming op the house and pulling dolma two
chimneys, with the materisls of which they re-opened their
buttery, and after utterly breaking every door and window
in the house, they succeeded in driving out the inerscuger
and his party sod regaining posseasmis. Intriligence of this
violeace hia:ug conveyed to the saliclior at Stamford, appli-
cation was on Sunday made to the county Magistrate+ in the
neighhoorlionl of Tensor, who, on an immediate hearing
of the coo., armed a number of peace-officers sad assistants
with Lone pistols from the military depot at Handle, and,
Grier cbargiog them to use their weepoos with discretion,
but, if it was neee“ary to use then) at all, to use them milk
eff.ed, sent them to Tumor in aid of the solicitor. Happily
the imposing appearance of this prepaiatnits to enforee the
law had she desired effect of preventing much further vio-
lence. The police broke la of the back of the house; the
ppneipsi delinqueat fled at the front (a warrant for hie ap
prebrusion is out against bins); his retainers, after slight
'militancy, gave up the atrisped and 'wetly-demolished
bosom; sod the law, after this almost suprecedenied dis.
tinbance to this part of the kingdom, is now taking its
course.
