[Actions by the Commissioners when they fled to the Castle.]
They . . . transmitted a fresh, false and inflamed account
of the defeat of the custom-house officers in attempting to
make a seizure at Capt. Malcom's in 1766, with the tolling
of the Old-North bell as a solemn warning for a general
insurrection,
. . . [15 lines follow]
notwithstanding the solemn sound of the Old-North Bell, if
it sounded at all.
