against the regiment. According the report
squads Of drunken men staggered through the
streets, firing their rifles and giving vent to much
profane language. 1t also said that after
much clubbing the part OF eight policemen from
the West Chester station fifteen soldiers were locked
up in jail and were not released until a promise
