Boston, June 11. A young man, an apprentice to a house
carpenter in this town, happening to be looking over a fence
on a small hill, near the Assembly Room, in order to take a
view of the Company there dancing; a centinel who had been
placed at the door, came behind him and gave him a blow on
the head, by which he was struck to the ground, and suffered
a great loss of blood; the soldier's pretence for this
violence, being, that he had been spat upon, by one on the
hill.
