Appeal to he Vii de for Military Protection.
MoNTREAL, Oct. 20-Mr Doutie had an
interview TO-DAY with the Mayor az to getting
protection at the NJ preaching burial NJ Guihord
From what had transpired at the last attempt
at burial, he thought now that no ahdavit was
required to show the absolute necessity OF a
strong organization for the protection Of the
appronc ching funeral They wanted protection
against people who think there Is no law against
what they did in September last. After that
abortive attempt. those ignorant men would
naturally imagine there was nothing wrong in
what they did, and they might expect to see the
same men there with a crowd Of their friends,
and the scenes OF the I'd Of September repeated
with Increased gravity and terrible results. IL
was especially necessary to project these men
from their own Ignorance, ana 10 accomplish
that strong display OF police force should be
made on tne occasion ~ the coming buiial.
The law authorized the Cnnirmen OF the several
Sessions OF the Pepce or their magistrates, Of
wnom the MAYOR might be one, TO call on the
military. The notoriety OF the facts which
marked the nrst attempt was such tnat any JUS
ticc OF The Peace would lie full, justified In act
ing without further information. lie then
called upon the Mayor to state what he Intend
ed tO do ON the occasion
The Mayor answered that shortly after the
RfHir Of Sept 2, he had consulted the city at
torneys to know his position and the extent OF
his duties, and thereupOn read their written
opinion to the effect that outside the limits OF
the CITY the Mayor, rs Mayur, had no ddtus. hut
over the District OF Montreal He iniimated
tnat neither he nor the city police should 90
outside the CITY limits, and that ~ the Catholic
cemetery was outside these limits they would
not 20 there.
Mr.. Doutre replied that the Catholic cemetery
was but few RODS outside the city limits, and
by bringing the body along Sherbrooke street
and COte deH Noiges road a very short dist nee
would be left TO be traveiscd between the city
II nits and Guibords burial D lace.
The Mayor asked why tho funeral should not
take the route around the mountain as before.
Ilt..aN l.aN gah n In
OF the assistance he expected to receive from
the police he had maze up his mind Co come
through the city, as the distance was shorter,
and n they were to be deprived OF the protec-
tion Of the police ut a certain part OF the road,
that was an additional reason To come through
the city, So that they might be to a certain ex-
tent under the protection OF the public authori-
ties. The other route lay through two smaller
munich. Ites that had no police lie ADDED
that he considered the distinction made about
the territorial lines. in IA case OF such vast i'm
portance, appeared like splitting hairs. How
ever, II hts action was persisted In, he would
now apply to W. n. Kingston, ESQ, Justice OF
the Peace, TO sign paper prepared i,r calling
out the militia. and suggested that Kingston
could obtain the signature Of the Mayor Of
Cote des Neiges, who did business close by the
