satisfy me that you have a magistrate's warrant, and are
authorised to make this arrest, and I will obey it quietly; but
let no man who loves his life venture to approach me till I am
satisfied for what crime, and by whose authority, I am
apprehended.'

Glossin then caused one of the officers show a warrant for the
apprehension of Vanbeest Brown, accused of the crime of wilfully
and maliciously shooting at Charles Hazlewood, younger of
Hazlewood, with an intent to kill, and also of other crimes and
misdemeanours, and which appointed him, having been so
apprehended, to be brought before the next magistrate for
examination. The warrant being formal, and the fact such as he
could not deny, Bertram threw down his weapon and submitted
himself to the officers, who, flying on him with eagerness
corresponding to their former pusillanimity, were about to load
him with irons, alleging the strength and activity which he had
displayed as a justification of this severity. But Glossin was
ashamed or afraid to permit this unnecessary insult, and directed
the prisoner to be treated with all the decency, and even respect,
that was consistent with safety. Afraid, however, to introduce him
into his own house, where still further subjects of recollection
might have been suggested, and anxious at the same time to cover
his own proceedings by the sanction of another's authority, he
ordered his carriage (for he had lately set up a carriage) to be
got ready, and in the meantime directed refreshments to be given
to the prisoner and the officers, who were consigned to one of the
rooms in the old castle, until the means of conveyance for
examination before a magistrate should be provided.
