RIOT AT GUILDFORD,

The soldiers who have, in consequence of the
threatened Guy Fawkes riots, been quartered at
Guildford for some time, returned on Thursday to
Aldershott. Late on Saturday night the " guys"
took advantage of their absence to come out.
Eighteen or 20 men, armed with bludgeons and
dressed as "guys," entered the town from the direc-
tion of Stoke's-fields, and, proceeding. along the
Stoke-road, broke the windows of Messrs. Impey
and Bower, two special constables, who had, it
seems, given their party some cause of offence.
Proceeding to the upper part of the town, they
turned round the corner of the Ram Inn, and
alarmed the whole neighbourhood with their shouts.
They then broke the panels of the shutters and
shop windows of Mr. Neale, linendraper, having
wrenched the shutters from their places, and broken
two large windows each valued at £7O. Nor did
the upper windows share a better fate. The fram-
ing was broken, and other parts of the woodwork
shivered to pieces, and rot a single pane was left
whole. This was the work of only a few minutes.

some shouting being heard in the direction of
Chapel-street (lower down the town) they were
ordered thither, but there were found nothing de-
manding their services. At Mr. Piper's the " guys"
demanded money, promising
that if they received
a good round sum they would not injure the house.

Mr. Piper refused
give them money, on which
they threatened him. He told them that Mrs.
Piper was very ill,
and begged them to desist, but
this entreaty they utterly disregarded, and at once
commenced their attack. They completely broke
in the front door. The upper and lower windows
were also destroyed. The "
guys" then disbanded
for the night,

even their dresses. Sword sticks and unexploded
fireworks were found yesterday morning in the
streets. Mr. Weale's and Mr. Piper's premises
