 The Clerk on seeing the defendants, expressed his surprise at their size, and said he thought they had been men. The chairman said he thought the person who laid the information had acted wrongly. He had taken out these summonses , but he, (the chairman) did not know whether he had the authority of Mr. CURWEN to do so, and the complainant did not appear.
