I William Fallass of lawful age testify and say, that after
the
murder was committed in
Kingstreet, on the evening
of
the fifth instant, upon my return home I had occasion to stop
opposite to the lane leading to Green's barrack, and while
I
stood there the soldiers rushed by me with their arms, towards
Kingstreet, saying, this is our
time or chance; and that I never
saw men or dogs so greedy for their prey as these soldiers seem-
ed to be, and the sergeants could hardly keep them in their
ranks.
