forestalled them. The attempt to meet
was fasco. The crowds jeeringly
shouted the military commands as the
troops moved away. Stones were
thrown, and the troops charged the
mob. The latter closed with the troops
who were ordered to load. The soldiers
charged several times, but subsequent

Greys and police afterwards charged
the mob down George street, causing il
