de6antly justified the letting off of what he de-

to refuse permission to another gathering OF
Anarchists called the Commonweal Society, al
that interesting battle-ground because the So

made sooner. The Cammonwear newspaper
has, of course denounced Mfn. and some of the
Anarchist members uttered yelled threats OF vio-

Ii is not however deemed probable that these
gentry will do much harm in London. They
are all we'll known and could be easily arrested.
The right Of asylum is TO them a matter Of vital
value. Any grave indiscreton on their part
would most likely lead to their being handed
