The thieves that have been stealing

who they are and they are seriously CON
sidering what is best to be done with
them. Some are in favor of giving them
notice to leave the town or 90 to work
and if they don't do one or the other,
then have the whole notorious gang ar
rested as Migrants. This set Of people
and thieves have lived in the lower end
OF town for three years without doing
days work. They dress we'll, live at
the top OF the pot and are drunk half Of
the time.
