the Mclean Circuit Court, entoned from
collecting tolls from the steamer HART
FORD" and for three months since that

The Company are not satisfied, and on
the Esd day OF October they attached the
/" HARTFoRD' at Woodbury., to enforce the
collection of their exhoE bitant tolls, and
thus drive all opposition from the river.
Let them keep the boat until the law de-
cides the whole case. They have given
bond in order TO do this, and viii look
to them and their pond for my remedy.
Their right to own the river shall be
speedily tried in the highest Courts of the
land.
I believe that the gallant people along
the river are JTeense7l, and will certainly
not become slaves to this monopoly.
