lop, ever the man of action, raised
a home -guard battalion to combat
the rebels. Despite the fact thatr„
Mackenzie's Reactionaries neve
came within a hundred and fifty
miles of Goderich, theTiger sent
out skirmishing companies ail
around the. countryside, "to meet
the enemy". It would appear that
their chief interest was to locate,
