Boston, March 5 1770.
[66 lines describing several hostilities that occurred
between Boston residents and soldiers of the 29th Regiment.
No less audacious was the behavior of a tall negro drummer,
to whom Justice Hill particularly spoke, ordering him home,
but he intent on wounding, or probably killing the
inhabitants, headed the party sword in hand, but had his
sword beat from his hold, which however being chained to his
body he carried with him.  He is said to be much wounded. .
