Marlborough, July 20.  1770. [29 lines:]. . .  whereupon
there assembled on the 17th of July current a great
number------ [16 names] and others.  In the evening they
would some of them sally out with clubs &c. and collar those
that passed by in the street.  A young lad in the
neighbourhood had beat a drum that evening, as he had done
sundry evenings before, in order to learn to drum and there
came to him John Richards, and inticed him to go with him,
promising no harm should befall him, & after he had got him
some way from home he was assaulted by Alex. Boyd, Joseph
Hale and John Gat Brigham. . . [20 more lines].
