Cosasoi•sionors (whom Report we have given in this

brother, and pleased that at least their further waste
of time was prevented. Now, oar seven wise men in

to relent to their several homes in order to let their

coach and addressed the People, desiring them by all
means not to commit the least violence on any one's
person or property, but depart to their own homes,
