him Of escaping During the two nights he
was there, fires were kept burning at such
positions around the house as to- enable the

made for his person to be given up, but the
inmates, Mrs. Jackson and her; mother, and
her two brothers, one Of the age of II, and

mittance, unle S clothed with the proper
authority and. at the same time. denied
. that Mr.. Jackson was there. On Saturday

Of Justice Tayk5 and invoked the exercise
Of his authority, as y ,nagistra:e,:ln disp"rs-

that no power adequate to the emergency
was under his control, and, solitary and
alolie, she returned, with no prospect of re-
