To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To effect that purpose a very large contingent of police was drafted in from other parts of the country, with the usual accessories to these circumstances, the " cand5niaen," to whom the occasion was a harvest, and just the kind of work their natures were akin to, and their minds eagerly desiring, and therefore ready to accept. There were most serious riots, and at one time a violent collision took place, between the crowd and the police. It was not the result of any action on the part of the S...Uksworth people, but was owing to the presence of strangers. It was customary for the police to escort the candy- men out of the village to a large house a short distance off, which afterwards was given the name of " Candy Hall " because of the use it was put to. On a certain night when the escorting took place, the police and their charge were followed by a large concourse of people, some of whom threw stones and various kinds of missiles. In a few instances the officers were hurt. This they bore until they got outside the village, when suddenly wheeling they charged with their batons upon the crowd, many of whom were seriously injured.
