rived, however, and general melee ensued,
in which an A. c. of I. d. got stabbed in the
face with dirk by George Williams, an A. C.

and Stevens arrived on the ground and pro-
ceeded TO make arrests. Some of the guilty
ones took refuge in a cellar. One of them
Mat McGlinchy, took to his heels and escaped,
