since one o'clock, and have left a d-4 good job to
find you, and 1 •will. twist yourbloody nose for you ;"
which threat he carried into effect forthwith ; and,
on the plaintiff saying, 44 He should report he defen-
dant to the Trinity louse," he twisted his nose again,
by. which it was excoriated, and bled.
