The people, who had against hope hoped for
prompt administration ofJustlce on an lncentiary,
became enraged at these delays, made an attempt
10 get the prisoner out of the hands of the au-
thonties, believing that the prisoner would by
these DELAYS effect an escape. THIS was trus-
trated bv the authorities and the prisoner was
1t Is generally believed, sent on board l. =.
vessel.
The sentiments of the people are perceptlble
in the sentiments of the meetings, held SubSe-
ouentlv 10 the trial and execution OF jenkins,
although the confusion OccaSloned 10y parties at
temptluC to disturb the meeting and create riot
is deeply to be regretted. These meetings are
the spontaneous movements OF the people, Dut
have no connection with the Committee OF Safe
~. The Coroner's Inquest has been IN session
tor the past three days, and have brought IN a
verdict OF a nature not calculated to alay the
present excitement. 1t Is to be hoped that the
clty authorities will not attempt TO interfere with
the punishment of crimes by the people The
Committee OF Safety Is composed OF men OF hlgh
standing and Will be supported IN their measures
for depressing crime.
