All managed to get clear away but one, wh > was seized by Mr Nye and held round the tree fo>some time.

The boss did not know the unwelcome visitor by name or sight, but a parcel accidentally left in the vicinity, is said to have raised a clue, and we understand a number of gents will be called upon to answer a. charge at the Police Court in due course, as a result.
