warrant fot rent. Davis met the officer ut
the door &nldared him to enter, at the same
time informing him that he would die be-
fore he would permit his property to be
seized. By this time the loud dcmonstra-
tions of tn ~insolent negro had drawn to-
gcther a large crowd of negroes, who by
their words and actions encouraged Davis in
his resistance 70 the law; and at one time
a serious difficulty appeared imminent.
The Office. however, was firm in his deter
minatiou not to be bullicd into submission
by the ont 2ageous conduct of the negro,
and finally succeeded in arresting him and
making the levy upon his chattels. Davis
was taken before Justices Lydick and Dill
lard, who, after hearing the case, required
him to give security in the sum of fifty dol
lars to kce.' tho peace and be of good be-
havior. The matter, however, is not to end
