John Merryman, Horatio Merryman and

fore the criminal court for an assault upon a
woman. They were acting under q warrant
of levy of execution, and entered the

doubtedly acted rudely toward the woman,
who was widow, but it was conclusively
shown that the German "vrow" upon whom
the writ was TO be executed was abundantly
able to take care of herself. She fioored one

action. overcame her, she Immediately
issued warrants for their arrest, and hence
the case in the criminal court.
