l as if they were
sold openly, and which would defy prosecution, as the vender
could not be identified. I dislike this mode of doing
business; I like open, fair play; and I now make a
proposition to Stoddart, Clarke, Murray, and Sharp, that I
will do every thing openly, and give them the name of every
individual in my employ from time to time, if they will

"Cato," their scribe, and not arrest until a Grand Jury have
pronounced a true Bill against the individual. If they will
not accept this proposition, they shall arrest no more, and

remained iu consultation with Secretary Murray some time;
there was much marching and countermarching in and out of
the office on the part of the Secretary and the Yeomen, but
no public application on the part of the Association was
made to the Alderman, and it was understood that there was
much difficulty in determining the manner of renewing, with
any prospect of success, the attacks upon the inmates of
"The Temple of Reason."

The difficulty, it seems, arose from the new mode of defence
adopted by t
