When you were upon the holdings I was about 7S

that they a. es disciplined troops who came in protect
you, or fight fur you, ors they might be called upon,

troops surround a mass in such a way isi order to fight fur

you gave them the commaud. Those ;moms would
have twist away the constables from you. The hoe of
constaletes did 11/11 thielld to the handiugs. I tried to

of r pearlised seep. At the back of Kiag-street the email
again halted and acted in die same manner that they bad
done hareem the Star Inn. There was a white handker-
chief displayed (ruin a wiitelow between the Star and King-
street, on who b there was a great clapping of hands. The
Police °dice is at the back of kings street. The
manlier in which they proceeded was most certainty
calrulated to create alarm. They •ppearrd to be mostly
tie:augers. Thuugh this seowd was but one division, I
thought it very formidable, but eminecting it with others
that I haul heard of, I became extremely anxious. Most of
the .beeps had their shutters up, best massy of the don's were
open. I shot my own 'judos., and locked butte the I t
