THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER AT

CHELMSFORD.

ATTACK UPON THE POLICE.

The anniversary of GlUidO'sdiabolical plot has
annually called forth some feeling of excitement on
the part of the inhabitants of this usually quiet
country town and the adjacent hamlet of Moulsham.
This 'year, however, either through the gradual
dying out of the enthusiasm of those who have
usually supplied the funds for the fireworks and
bonfires, or from some other cause, the youths and
men who generally figure prominently in the de-
monstration were thrown upon their own resources,
for the accustomed aid from the inhabitants was not
forthcoming. It was determined however, by the
usual performers in the displays .that their wonted
custom should not die for want of an effort on their
part. Accordingly, a movement was organised
for an assembly in the High-street during
the evening, and it was whispered that
some casks would be " borrowed" from the back
premises of one of the grocers, and duly trans-
ferred into tar barrels. Accordingly, the evening was
ushered in by the appearance of individuals, effec-
tually disguised, wending their way to the appointed
rendezvous, and bythe somewhat unusual spectacle
of half a score of police constables parading the
main thoroughfare. At S o'clock the roadway was
taken possession of by about 30 or 40 of the first-
named persons, who marched in a compact body
from one end of the town to the other, armed with
formidable bludgeons. They were preceded and fol-
lowed by a great crowd, and paid visits to the shops
of some of the tradesmen for the purpose of solicit-
ing contributions to a tar-barrel fund. Later on the
concourse increased, and the people became more
excited. The police also appeared in stronger force.
Between 9 and 10 o'clock the explosions of gunpow-
der became loud and frequent, to the annoyance
and danger of foot passengers and horses. Soon
after this barrels were openly rolled along the streets
under the eyes of the police, who, however, did not
interfere until about 10 o'clock, when an attempt
was made by the superintendent of the county con-
stabulary tolrestore the town to something like order
by bringing about 20 constables to clear the street.
The feelings of the mob, however, was now too ex-
cited to be put down by so inadequate a force. The
police were hustled, pushed, and jostled about in
the roughest manner: The bludgeons spoken of were
wielded with damaging effect, and stones hurled in
all directions. Several of the police were struck ;
one man, it is reported, having lost the use of an
eye, and the superintendent received a fearful blow
on the head and a severe bruise on the side. After
two or three ineffectual attempts to drive the crowd
before them the police were so overpowered by
numbers that they were ordered to discontinue the
attempt. The mob, thus left comparatively to
themselves, seemed to take fresh strength, and con-
ducted themselves in a most uproarious manner.
Stones again flew thicker and faster than ever,
breaking many windows in the Shire Hall, Corn
Exchange, and in the upper rooms of the shops in
the High-street. The damage thus caused is esti-
mated at a considerable sum, and a solicitor of the
town yesterday morning offered a reward of £5 for
the apprehension of the parties who destroyed two
valuable squares of plate glass on his premises.
While this was going on in the High-street the in-
habitants of the New London-road were alarmed
by seeing a large crowd assembling around an im-
mense bonfire in the centre of the road, immediately
contiguous to a row of dwelling-houses, and it was
at one time feared that the roofs might be set on
fire by the shower of sparks proceeding from it.
This, however, did not occur, and after a time the
flames gradually burned out, while the mob amused
themselves by breaking almost every pane of glass
n the vicinity.
