which has taken place.for fome years paft, and 
particularly of late, in the parifh of S:. Mar- 
tin, Lsicefter, has become a ferious fubje& of 
univerfal diffatisfaétion and complaint ; adding, 
that whether the money collected has been 
properly difpofed of, or wantonly lavithed 
away, is a matter which calls for minute in- 
veft:gation. ; 
We are concerned that we have occafion to 
record the following inftance of brutal outrage : - 
A number of mechanics and manufacturers 
had agreed to fup together on Friday, the 14th 
of July, at the Three Cranes, in Humberftone 
Gate, Leicefter, to commemorate the anniver- 
fary of the Fremch revolution. The company 
accordingly afiembled about eight o'clock, and 
were individually infulted by a man at the door 
with vulgar execrations. Various and re- 
‘peated attempts were made during the evening, 
both in the hoyfe and at the door, to provoke 
violence, ay a pretence for difperfing and ill- 
{eating the company. Thefe attempts were 
defeated by the firm and manly conduét of the 
Jandlord, and the peaceable behaviour and for- 
bearance of the company. Enraged by thefe 
difappointments, fome of the fencibles, then 
quartered in the town, were fent for, and upon 
a fignal being fired, they fiarted from their am- 
buth, burit into the houfe, and, headed by a 
‘principal ringleader, rufhed up ftairs into the 
room where the company were affembled, and, 

without any provocation or authority (having. 
placed five of them as centinels on the landing- 
place to cut at the company as they paffed) dif- 
perfed them, fabre in hand, and drove them 
headlong down ftairs. Having cleared the 
oom of the company, the tables, chairs, glaffes, 
&c, became the objects of their vengeance, and 
not content with thefe depredations, they found 
it convenient to move off a tankard and a tab!e- 
cloth, and to pocket fome filver, colle¢éted ona 
plate to difcharge the reckoning. Several of the 
company loft their hats, fhoes, and had their 
coats torn. OF thirty-five, the number aflem- 
bled, nine received fabre wounds, and many 
others were violently bruifed.  Jofeph: Jordan 
was kicked down ftairs, by the exprefs com-_ 
mand of one of the inftigators, and a woman 
received five cuts.
