Blfon0 organization for tho protection OF tho
approaching funoral. Thoy wnutod protection
against people WHO think tIero is no law against
what they did In Sepsomber last. After TINT
abortivo attempt. those ignorant men would
naturally imagine thero was nothing wrong in
what shey did, and they might expect to 500 tho
snnle mon tlioro with a crowd Of tlor friends,
and tho sceuos Of tho I'd Of September repeated
With Increased gravity aud terrible 1esults. 1t
was caFccinly necessary to protect tlleYe ulen
from thss own anorapco ,,n and to accomplish
made on tho occasion of thu coming burial. Tho
law authorized tho Chalrtnan Of tho several Ses-
b!ons Of tho Peace or their magistrates, Of whom
tho Mayor might DO ono. to call on tho military.
Tho nolorioty Of tho facts which 1narBod tho

1,cyu to know hla position aud tho extent Of lla

by bringing the body along Bhorbrooko street
aud Cotc dca Neiges road o very short distance

limits and Guibord's burial placo.
Tho Mayor asked why tho funeral should not
tako tho routo around tho mountaln(ao before.
Sir. Doutrn rsplied TINT cren with tho @hoo
OF the aasstance ho expected to rocoive from
tho police. 10 lad made up hia mind to come
through tho city. 10 tho distance Was shorter,
and II they wero to bo deprived Of tho protection
Of tho police at cortain pnrt OF tho road. that
was IN additional roason to como through tho
city, 20 that they might 30 to . certain axtent
under tho protection Of the public authorities.
Tic otllor route lay through tHo smaller
municipalities that Ind no police. Ho added
that ho considered tho distinction nndc about
the territorial lines. in . cnse Of such vast i'm
portaneo, appeared like splitting nalrs. How,

out tho militia, and suggested that Kingston
could obtain tho signature Of tho Mayor Of
Cote les Nejges, wlo did business close by tho
