Too much violence (according to the swearing) was used to keep possession from the tenant in this case. putting out of the door the few trifling articles, perhaps of two dollars value, which she had there. As he was about finishing the business, however, the original tenant got wind of his proceedings, and came to the house and attempted to get in; Mehin resisted her, and pushed her back; whereupon she swore a violent assault and battery upon her, and procured, as is not always impossible, sufficient auxiliary proof to convict him. That, however, was not the important and essential part of the trial, so far as the public may wish information.

It is a circular buzz of thin soft sheet iron, six inches in diameter, which cuts the hardest steel almost with the ease of tallow.

A steel saw-mill saw-plate was placed in the machine, having the old teeth all taken off, and in four minutes it cut with perfect accuracy eleven teeth-or half cut-for, in order to finish the cutting, the saw must be turned in the machine, so as to come work-wise for cutting the other half.

The cutting is done so accurately, that very little filing is necessary to complete the dressing of the saw for business.
