[1 column: Deposition of Thomas Pryce concerning the 5th of
March] . . . On Monday following, being the fifth of the
month, as I was returning from a visit, a little after nine
o'clock in the evening, I heard a bell ring, which I
imagined to be the usual signal for fire . . . [17 lines,

were set a ringing, and continued so a long while without
intermission; and the voice of the people was, "to arms, to
arms". . .
