Thompson turned round and asked them why shouting, and half a dozen more, men cane they were acting so foolishly. They, began running up and made insulting remarks. Thompson then told them that if they had aay thing to say they had better come to the police station with him, but they declined to do so, saying there was nothing to go to the police station for.

Turning round he saw them ranuing after him, and immediately afterwards he was pelted with a volley of stones. Stopping, he turned round towards his assailants, when he was seized from behind by some more men and thrown to defended himself with his umbrella, which, the ground.
