Mr.. Buckingham-"In regard TO this
motion that the court appoint two ccn-
stables 10 attend to this matter you will

LEWIS LoQuActTY.
"The janitor has too much to say
somehow. | know he has. l don't
want to sec the wheels of this court
blocked nor does Mr.. Bggs. / believe,
AS was asserted recently in the United
States court chamber, that every man
who comes here with the proper creden-
tials should be put on.
81 must express my surprise also at
the kind of citizens who have come To
this court to be put ON the lists. You
Will agree with me that they are far
above the grade of people whom it was
asserted would come here. Now, for
the sake of harmony, think we can all
unite in this work. MIR. Biggs will bear
me out that all that VIC want is fairness
WHAT ABOUT THE MILITIA?
AIr. Grubb--"I don't think that this
constable business and tho idea of
arresting people here looks all right.
What will the people in Kent and Sus-
sex say of us? What will they say of
us in other stetesp We've got our Off
cers-and there is the city police--don't
forget the miliiia Laughter /, my
self, don't think there is going to be any
riot, but the idea of the Delaware militia
is good"
Mr.. Buckingham-"I we have two
constablcs We could quash riot right
away"
The question was called and Mr..
Hickman demanded yea and nay vote.
The motion was passed in the usual
political line--6 to b.
Mr.. Grubb--"l guess will beat any
day."
