But whatever may be the eves as to netual violence, the statements of varions persóna thist the Sergeant acted in a violent manner are corroborated by the fact that one of the two assisting canatables (according to his owainscount given to the Mogriatrate) was posted at the door "chasing a crowd away;" while the mas of antha force at all raises a strong preemoption that something more than "enquiries" was inteaded from the fient.
