fendants had taken offence at Mr. Smith's conduct der

at the other, and the modes operandi was the ringing of
bells throughout the night, causing a largo numbert be
persons to assemble, requiring the interference of

necessary, and answer any complaint that might be 'ber
ferred against them ; in all probability nothing flirt
