Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address of His Honor John S. Sleeper, Mayor of Roxbury, to the Police Officers and Watchmen of the City: May, 1858
Vagrants, and those who are found intoxicated in the streets, suffering and helpless but peaceable and inoffensive; persons who are destitute, and those whose offences are slight, may be placed in the lock-up any time during the night, and retained until morning, when they will be discharged, or sent up to the Police Court for trial, according to the nature of the case, and at the discretion of the City Marshal. But none are to be discharged without his direction.
