than occasion, (when we were not near hini)the
sheriff reproved those fellows for misconduct in the

themselves on this occasion with the bearing of men

commanding officer of the I'D met him at the rear of
his house, and expressed deep sympathy for him and

of Clancy. One of the bailifs were dragging fra

throat with her left hand, while in the right she
