the navigation men employed by the Regent's Canal Compeny,
for h riot and violent assault on some men employed by Mr.
Agar, the barrister, on his grounds attached to his house, neat
' the Veterinary College, Camden Ton it.
Alr.'Agar stated. that in the Act of Parliament passed fir
making the Regent's Canal, there was a special clause that ibc
line of the Canal shotild not interfere with his estate. He 'mid
that the law held that the assembling of any number of persons
above three to do an illegal act, constituted a riotous assembly.
