Meaning of 尻を持ち込む


In the 4th sentence of the 3rd paragraph of
[坊ちゃん](http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000148/files/752_14964.html) is:  
  

> 古川の持っている田圃の井戸を埋めて尻を持ち込まれた事もある。

  
  
I am not sure what is meant by 尻を持ち込まれた.  
  

[According to
Weblio](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E5%B0%BB%E3%82%92%E6%8C%81%E3%81%A1%E8%BE%BC%E3%82%80)
it means:

> 問題の後始末を他の人に頼む。

  

I take it to mean that 古川 asked someone (not the narrator) to empty out the
well which the narrator filled. Would this be accurate? For some reason it
seems a bit odd.

Thank you




明鏡国語辞典 says:

> 尻を持ち込む -- 後始末をつけるよう関係者に迫る。

So... here in your example I think it's closer to 後始末をつけるよう **[迫]{せま}る**
"demand, press", than ～頼む "ask".

> 古川の持っている田圃の井戸を埋めて尻を持ち込まれた事もある。

古川 demanded the narrator (or probably his family) to empty out the well which
he filled.
