intrudeYs had simply voted to adjourn it, as
they might have done, it would have been dis

accustomed to such scenes, usually leaving the
rougher parts OF duty to his deputy, Mr. Ham,
very efficient officer. For some mysterious
reason, Mr.. Ham was sent out OF town that

and the leading rowdles were heard to assure
