Resoiutiors were passed demanding
that the soldiers off duty should no
longer be permitted to work for the
citizens, and that they should not leave
their barracks after roll-call. A COM
mittee was appointed to seek permis-
sion from the Corporation to remove
the vacant building on the Common,
which had been a covert to the assail-
ants of the 1iberty-pole. The follow

derisive and defiant character, issued
on the part of the soldiery, abounded
in the city. The valiant Sears, with
party of his friends, came upon a
trio of soldiers engaged in posting one
of the challenges. One Of the soldiers
drew his bayonet for an assault, when

recognized in the elevation of the lower
part of John street. Here they charged
upon the throng of citizens who had
gathered to the spot. Francis Field,
a Quaker, standing IN his doorway,
was wounded by sword or bayonet
thrust. Three other citizens and a
sailor were wounded. The soldiers
in various instances were successfully
resisted and overpowered in the miscel-
laneous conflict, which threatened to
assume larger proportions, when the
soldiers were ordered by their officers
to their barracks. Other disturbances
of a like character ensued. Mean
while, to give flavor of legality to the
property, the sanction Of the Corpora
ton was now sought to be obtained for
the erection of a new iberty-pole on
the old public ground.
Failing to obtain this concession
from the prudent Common Council, the
citizens purchased from a private own
