protect residents from harm. Between
9 and 10 O'Clock the soldiers mutinied,
set fire to number of buildings, and
then began looting from house toulouse.
They were joined by the rabble. Shops
and banks in all important streets were
looted, and some of them were wrecked.
In order to intimidate the populace,
the soldiers kept up continual gun
fire. The rattle of musketry could be
heard throughout the night. Only a
few police remained loyal, and they
were outnumbered and powerless to sup
press the disorders.
No less than II fires were raging
simultaneously in various parts of the
