mat wanton outrage was perpetrated in this

a body of crcppers, nine in number, sprung

behind a fence, and commenced a most fero-

it cumpanions, and were accordingly remanded
another examination. Both Gentlemen were se-

al injured; Mr. Ilolt, k is feared, dangerously,
much disfigured in his person.

pouititedes the lives and property of others may be endan-

some others, had a most interesting appearance,
