crackers were thrown into houses, and the dour, of
private houses were knocked at, and those who
answered the doors had numbers of squibs Or
crackers thrown at them. Several people had thdr
clothes burnt: One gentleman had a bundle of
squibs put into his pocket, and set fire to, which
burnt his clothes, and scorcheit his side in a mot
shocking manner. The pick.pockets were ptvico,
laif'y active. Mr. Johnson, of ISverel.street, ito„
sell-square, was hustled in the most daring ratin,7l
and .rubbed i 4 a gold watch, chin, and seals; ihi
bottom of his coat.pocket was cult out, anti his
pocket-book stolen. He took the precanu,,o of
buttoning his coat before lie went into the cromi;
but as soon as he was hustled his coat was tom

met, throwing stones and filth at them, makii, uk
of the most abusive language, calling out fur lights,
and breaking windows. Albemarle-street was their
principal rendezvous, in consequence of a how
being illuminated there ; he observed the Prisoner

the whole of the evening : their conduct wis ma
alarming that he was determined to watch and mart
them, till he found assistance and an opportaity
to secure them ; they discovered him watching them,
and several voices called out a spy, a spy ! off, oil
