I'ublic attention has been more than ouoe called to tint matter, and it wai only in our ii«ue of the U>th mit that tho Ck*irmau of the Hamilton Town 'Board issued his edict that thoio wrtttuiict xhould iind bail in the perton of tome lenprotible uitizea who would register hit n-epon-'libility in. them and their actions, or tha(i thuy niusi dio Ibn death Within 'iertn' days.
