Boston. Journal of the Times. (continued)
Oct. 3 . . . [continuation of report of arrival of soldiers
and confrontations with residents.] In the afternoon our
artillery company appeared in the field and were exercised,
their captain was informed by the officer of the regulars,
that it was not customary to beat drum, or fire after the
evening cannon was discharged, the hint was taken. . .
Oct. 6. In the morning nine or ten soldiers of Colonel
Carr's regiment, for sundry misdemeanors, were severely
whipt on the commons;--to behold Britons scourged by Negro
drummers, was a new and very disagreeable spectacle. . .
