Sir John Ingilby, Bart. received a letter from Mr.

ed him, and Paid, as a profeflional man, he should
abflain, and that he would he anfwerahle for the
confequences. Allen then made the ra'l move for-
ward ; the people rillhed down, and pnflud off the
Conhiables, whom the mob bear. The clothes of
two of them wete almoft torn off. Sir John was
pufhed down ftairs teveral times, and received as
many blows as mad: his back and fides black. The
mob got up the back of the landing place. Sir John

over the wall. Mr. Cohins's hat was knocked offhis
head, and was Bruck by a man. Sir John afked Mr.
I)ewfe, who the man was? Mr. Dewle replied, " I
do not know, and I will not; you ought to be alkali-

eathe into the centre of the mob, and encouraged
them. He was a Lieutenant of Volunteers. A man
