On this a firmer Tone was assumed & He was plainly told, [[underline]] that He must go, [[/underline]] or that other means must be resorted to -- Still He answered that He would not go, and asked if they meant to force Him. He was told if He continued his refusal longer, He [[underline]] would be forced.
