Suspicious activity amongst the town watch

I know it is none of my business to care what the watch is up to - three of them witnessed me dump a man headfirst into a keg of ale, push him in down to where only his feet remained in sight, and then knock the barrel over! They not only overlooked it, but watchman Odall said for them to ignore it! It either implies that they really don't like Jerry, or someone amongst our men is, unknown to myself, paying off the guards.
