keep the peace. 1t turned out ON the examination
that these three Young men wentto Mr. Pribram's

themselves until late hour. At twelve O'clock
Mr.. r. requested them To go away, that he might
close his house, and they refused. Mr.. p. closed
his shutters, and finding they determined to
annoy him by staying. waited patiently until
haIf-past twelve o'clOck Sunday morning. when
they finished their drinks, which had been order
I'd some time previously, and left. II was after
this occurrence that the threats were made which
caused u. to have them arrested and fined as above
