Mrs.
Perhaps no one who saw them walking together suspected that the boat-builder was charged with so gross a crime as stealing the tin box and its valuable contents. Some persons do not like to walk through the streets with sheriffs and policemen; but Donald was not of that sort, for in spite of all the evidence brought against him, he obstinately refused to believe that he was guilty.
Nothing can be a stronger proof of the fury of the times, than that Lord Russel, notwithstanding the virtue and humanity of his character, seconded in the house this barbarous scruple of the Sheriffs.
It was the same with the other councils. Inquiry was made as to abuses. Gradually the royal officials were replaced by men of popular leanings.

The farmer on the outposts of civilization must be more than half a soldier; the cowboy or ranchman on our southwest frontier goes about a walking arsenal, ready at all times to take the laws into his own hands, and scorning to call on sheriffs or other peace officers for protection against personal injury.
And now, for a month, there is a great parade in Maryland of proclamation, and hue and cry, and orders to sheriffs and county colonels to keep a sharp look-out everywhere for Talbot. But no person in the Province seems to be anxious to catch him, except Mr.
Gihon testifies that "every federal officer in the Territory, and every Territorial officer from the supreme judges to the deputy marshals, sheriffs and clerks, were wedded to the slave power, and pledged at all hazards to its extension." But daylight had already begun to dawn.
In the office of the County Judge, Samson said briefly: "I want to get my deputies sworn in." "We've got plenty deputy sheriffs," was the quietly insolent rejoinder. "Not now we haven't any." Samson's voice was sharply incisive. "I'll name my own assistants." "What's the matter with these boys?" The County Judge waved his hand toward two hold-over deputies. "They're fired."
