surrounded and cut off, Chief Constable Trant threw
his men into substantial slated house which stands
on emnence close to the common Here they were
speedily assaed by the armed mob without and by
their leaders. Mr.. Smith O'Bren went I'D to them
with brace of pistols in his hands, and called on them
to surrender their arms, promising them if they COM
