“To the round-house, in course; but I’m a constable. I must take him—I will take him! Give him to me, sir, directly—I will have him—I must go with him!” “Wait a minute,” said Ben. “Easy does it! You must go with him, you say? Very good—easy does everything!” With this, Ben grasped Mr. Lupin round the middle, and placed him under his left arm, and suddenly pouncing, then, upon the constable, he caught him up and placed him under the right arm; and then away he walked, to the admiration of the populace, and paying about as much attention to the kicking of the constable and the kicking of Mr. Lupin, as though they were two dogs that he was carrying home. And so the murderer was taken to the round-house, where Mrs. Oakley duly preferred the charge against him, and promised to substantiate it before a magistrate when called upon so to do. @9OQGHOOOOO CORniclooo S CO)
