"Till noon, they were quiet, then came one _Joyce_, a Hackney man, whom _White_ bid stand, the fellow asked what the matter was, and withall called him _Roundhead_; whereat _White_ being moved, cocked his Pistoll and would have shot him, but the Major wisht him to hold: Neverthelesse he shot, and the fellow fell down, but was not dead. Whence arose a sudden clamour that a man was murdered, whereupon the people came forth with clubs, and the _Major_ and _Aldermen_ made haste away; the Towne rose againe, and the Country came in, took possession of the Gates, and made enquiry for _White_; they found him in a hay loft, where they broke his head, and drag'd him in the streets, setting open the Prison dores and releasing those that were in hold. "Next, they vowed vengeance on the _Major_, pulling up his posts, breaking his windowes; but, at last, being perswaded by Sir _William Man_, Master _Lovelise_, Master _Harris_, and Master _Purser_, had much adoe to persuade them from taking of his Person; so came tumultuously into the high street, and their demands were so high, that those Gentlemen could not perswade them. Afterward, meeting Master _Burly_, the Town Clark, demanded the Keyes of the Prison from him, which, being granted, they, with those Gentlemen formerly named, went again to the Town Hall to Treat, and came to an agreement, which was, that forty or fifty of their own men should keep the Town that night, being compleatly armed, which being performed (the morning issued) and they continued in arms till Tuesday morning: There are none as yet dead, but diverse dangerously hurt. "Master _Sheriffe_ taking _White's_ part, and striving to keep the Peace, was knockt down, and his head fearfully broke; it was God's mercy his braines were not beat out, but it should seem he had a clung[10] pate of his own. [Footnote 10: Tough or strong.] "They went also without S. _George's_ gate, and did much injury to Mr. _Lee_. "As I am credibly informed, the injuries done are these. "They have beat down all the windowes of Mr. _Major's_ House, burnt the Stoups at the comming in of his dore, Master _Reeves'_ Windowes were broke, Master _Page_, and Master _Pollen_, one _Buchurst_, Captaine _Bridge_, _Thomas Harris_, a busie prating fellow, and others were sorely wounded. "It is Ordered that _Richard White_ and _Robert Hues_, being in fetters, be tryed according to the Law, and upon faire Composition, the multitude have delivered their Armes into the Hands of the City, upon engagements of the best of the City that no man shall further question or trouble them."
