Saturday, lst June, for the purpose of
removing from our midst Alexander Ba.
ker, who is suspected of trading with me-
groes, selling liquors and other disorderly
conduct contrary to the laws Of our counr
try. The company then quartered their
horses at Snipes and took up line of
march in military order for the said Ba
kers. On reaching his house he was
found TO be at home, the company march,
ed in front Of the door, halted, dressed
and presented arms. The Captain then
demanded him to surrender which he did
in very humble manner, and proceeded
to make known the object Of our mission.
Baker denied everything tina, was alleged
10 him, jnsti:ying himself in all his acts,
(Which is reasonable to suppos Sc he would
do). After thoroughly investigating him
on the subject. the case was referred to

lew minutes returned. The report of
the committee was announced as follows:
That he (Baker pour out all the liquor

tha, some one Of the company be required

He has wife and perhaps three children.
This fellow had built his liquor house on

tsge OF the civil law, you see by this act
that there was low down mean in,en.
ton in him and it is high time tha, the
civil community should combine together
and take the most stern vindic,ive course
against all such conduct, particular at
this per'lous time. We hope the people
