[riddell] times of ROBERT GOURLAY 83 



In the diplomatic correspondence the Americans claimed that the Caroline 

 carried only "articles of freight." 



At, or near, Maiden the Sympathisers, i.e. American invadeis, were defeated 

 and their General, Theller, and others were taken prisoner. At Point Pelé there 

 was a short battle; the Short Hills west of the Niagara River was the scene of the 

 latest attempt in that region against the Crown, resulting in death to nine, penal 

 service to others; at the Windmill near Prescott, the unfortunate Pole, Von Schoultz 

 was taken prisoner; he afterwards was hanged at Kingston with some of his fol- 

 lowers; at Windsor, Col. John Prince met and defeated the invaders, killed some 

 in battle, shot some after the battle and sent some to Toronto as prisoners. 



The "monkey chock full of bile" was, of course, William Lyon Mackenzie; his 

 rage against "Uncle Sam's tight collars" was due to the fact that convicted for an 

 oflfence against the law of the United States in organising an expedition against 

 Canada he was confined in the Gaol at Rochester for eleven, months. 



"The Globe" was not "The Toronto Globe."
