27-29 Sep 1770:21,22 (1/25)
About nine o'clock, in the evening of the same day [Monday
last], a number of Negro Grenadiers, gather up in the
common, and from thence, under commanders (flushed with a
military spirit) took it upon them to patrol several streets
in the town, with a drum beating, fifes playing and other
music, until some of the inhabitants, fearing the ill
consequences from such unlawful assemblies, broke their
drum, and quickly dispersed them, ordering them to go
peaceably home to their masters. . .
