A considerable number-; of' the police in uniform „ and plain clothes we»e scattered among the crowd/ and the larrikins confined themselves to howling. Barker mounted a four-wheelad cab and drove to Sydenham, where a " Free and Easy " was held. Ob the way a man named Thomas Patrick, working on a building being erected in Manchester street, threw a packet of btonedust at the band and was immediately arrested.
