"The activity of the Magistrates, and the arrival of the Oxford Blues, to assist the Civil Power, caused the mobs to be cautious of appearing on Saturday. They found that it was determined to fire upon them if they did not desist; and, therefore, they thought personal safety the best policy. A very rigid, and severe, investigation will, no doubt, be made into the practice of _crimping_, and a stop put to the disgraceful manner of _recruiting_."--(_Times, Aug. 26, 1794._) * * * * * "Old Bailey. "Five men were indicted for a riot, on the 20th of last month, at a Public House, known by the name of the Old Sash, in Moorfields. After a trial of five hours, the Jury found all the prisoners--_Not Guilty_. _John Osborn_ and _R. Piggott_ were indicted for riotously assembling on the 20th August last, in Golden Lane, and beginning to demolish the dwelling house of _Hugh Case_. _Piggott_ found guilty, sentence, _Death_. _Osborn_, not Guilty. _J. Strutt_, was afterwards tried for beginning to demolish the dwelling house of W. Ostiff, in Johnson's Court, Charing Cross, and, after a trial of several hours, was found guilty, sentence _Death_. Antony Purchase, and R. Warnbeck, were next tried, for beginning to pull down the house of R. Lazell, and found guilty, sentence _Death_. They were both of them strongly recommended, by the Jury, to mercy, on account of their youth, and the goodness of their character."--(_Times, Sept. 22, 1794._) * * * * * "Sunday evening, an affray happened in Whitcomb Street, between a recruiting party, and the mob, on account of the former attempting to trepan a young man, in a state of intoxication. The windows of the recruiting-house were broke, and the affair, which for some time bore an alarming aspect, was at last terminated by the arrival of a party of the Horse Guards."
