Two of the robbers taken in the field were hung to the neighboring 

 lamp-post, and a strong force was posted on the Dam and other exposed 

 parts of the city. At the first news of the insurrection the regiment of 

 Guards, which was stationed at 'S Gravemoer, had taken up its march 

 toward the city to assist, if needed, in quelling the disturbance, but when 

 distant only two leagues from Amsterdam, the Council did not judge it ex- 

 pedient to receive the troops, but thanking them heartily for their zeal, 

 begged them to hold their present position unless it should so happen that 

 the riot could not be put down by tlie fidelity and the valor of the citizens. 

 Volunteers under the command of Messrs. Hinlopen, Six, Burg and Huyde- 

 kooper, patrolled the streets to preserve order until the fourth of February. 

 On the 6th, six of the rioters were executed, and the corpses of four others, 

 who had been killed in the tumult, were hung up by the feet on the same 

 gallows. Several of the survivors were shut up in the House of Cor- 

 rection. 



The Magistracy sensible of the zeal and courage of the train bands and of 

 the volunteers, and desiring to exhibit in an honorable way the gratitude 

 of the citizens, caused the present medal to be engraved in three different 

 sizes, which, on the 28th of November of the same year, were distributed 

 publicly to all the troops, each man receiving a different size according to 

 his rank.
