Procession

A peaceable procession in the streets of a town, if lawful, and the streets are not obstructed more than is ordinarily the case under such circumstances, is not an indictable offence on the part of those composing it. State v. Hughes, 72 N. C. 25. The peaceable procession in the streets of a religious body, known as the Salvation Army, has been held lawful, although the members were aware of the lawless intention of their opponents to make it the occasion of a riot; 26 Sol. Journ. 505. See 26 Alb. L. J. 22; Streets.

See Assembly. PROCESSIONING. A going around. To prevent controversies concerning the boundaries of land between adjacent owners, they were required, once every ten years, to have their lands "processioned" or gone around, and the land-marks renewed. Whence processioners. Compare Perambulation.
