In order to effect this purpose, I appointed a new governor and other Federal officers for Utah and sent with them a military force for their protection and to aid as a posse comitatus in case of need in the execution of the laws.
'Only Goths, my donkey-riding friends! echoed Smid, and at that ominous name the whole posse comitatus tried to look unconcerned, and found suddenly that their presence was absolutely required in an opposite direction. 'Let him go, said Wulf, as he stalked up the steps. 'Let the boy go.
It is supposed not to be doubtful that all citizens, whether enrolled in the militia or not, may be summoned as members of the posse comitatus, either by the marshal or a commissioner according to law, and that it is their duty to obey such summons.
They have also fierce combats now and then with an invading hawk, and will drive him off from their territories by a posse comitatus. They are also extremely tenacious of their domains, and will suffer no other bird to inhabit the grove or its vicinity.
Is not the law sufficient to protect itself, that armed bands must be gathered, as in rebellion and war, to see justice performed? Tis the posse comitatus, shouted the sheriff, from a distant rock, who- Say rather a posse of demons.
