number of persons for an infraction Of the Sunday

that he was satisfied that the injuries consequent
on the stoppage Of the blast of such furnaces for
twenty -four hours out of every seven days would
be SO great and general essentially to be fatal to

the act of Assembly prohibiting worldly employ
ment ON the Sabbath does not impose fine for the
work necessary to keep q furnace In blast
