was arrested at his headquarters, by d.
Horton, a deputy marshal, and, though
surrounded by an excited crowd Of adhe-
rents, came on the simple request OF the Off
Ger. without resisting.
When his presence in the building be-
came known, the most intense excitement
was at once manifested among those who
were aware Of the fact, and the little room
in which Commissioner Belts ordinarily
hears cases was at once crowded to its fullest
capacityi

contents of the warrant, that the govern
ment thought it right, as Mr. Roberts ap-
peared without counsel, and seemed to desire
trial, to accept two bonds in ten thousand
dollars, one as ordinary bail and the other
TO keep the peace. He thought the case was
one where the latter bonds might be fairly
asked, as Mr.. Roberts action tended 10
disturb the peace, at least between ma

which complaint was made would be sufi-
cient foundation for a new warrant.

for declining before was that I understood
the rule 70 be as your Honor has laid It

sisting OF continuing aoy act which feel 70
be my duty as an Irishman. ! have per-
sons here who would 20 my bail.
Mr.. 6off, rather exeitedly, offered 10 60

lara.
Mr.. Collins--I do not understand the
