ranncaly used his authority to Cypress the people
OF this parish in compelling them to pay S2.66 poll
tax, which, if not complied with in weeks time,
will be raised to $685.. The law only calling for

to interpose your authority for our protection
against this arbitrary use of power.
A report was circulated Sunday which has
since been confirmed, that Tony Geddes,
Sampson Burns, Nelson Bennett and Isaac
Reed, colored citizens of Christ Church Parish,
had been arrested on March 3Oth, on war
rant issued by Trial Justice e. T. Legare, for
non-payment of poll tax in 1878. The three
hrst named were sentenced by this petty
tyrant to pay fines of $40 and $3.50 costs or SO
days in jail. Reeds fine was S., but the costs
and the alternative were the same. Being
unable to pay the fines and costs they were
forthwith incarcerated. The men are repre-
sented as poor, industrious and peaceable
farm-laborers.
