On Friday evening last, a number of people assembled and
took into possession, Mr. John Schaw merchant of this place,
being highly incensed against him, for advising the soldiery
at Gosport in presence of -------, to apprehend the Fifer of
one of the volunteer companies of this borough, only for
appearing before them with a hunting shirt on, as it was
proved and published by the Committee. The populace were
parading him into town to the tune of Yankey Doodle, as
played by the Fifer he had caused to be apprehended, . . .
