the Falls some wears ago lie applied TO the Courf
for liberation on bail and it decided that procu-
ring bonds TO the amount OF 5000 he should be set
at liberty. Messrs. Brotherion Of QncenstDr. and
Buell. of lockport, became his surety. and he was. If
course discharged. But the Buffalo Commercial OF
the 2Sh ult states that Mcleod, soon liberated
on BAIL was seized by armed mob and Tec0nduct,

strongly Condemned. The object OF this illegal pro-

But in a country like this. nothing can justify such
