(No. 5.)
I Nicholas Feriter, of lawful age testify, that on Friday the
second instant, about half after 11 o'clock, A. M. a soldier
of the 29th regiment came to Mr. John Gray's ropewalks,
and looking into one of the windows said, By God, i'll have
satisfaction ! with many other oaths ; at the last he said
he was not afraid of any one in the ropewalks. I stept
out of the window and speedily knock'd up his heels. On
falling his coat flew open, and a naked sword appeared, which
one John Willson following me out took from him, and bro't
into the ropewalks. The soldier then went to Green's bar-
rack, and in about twenty minutes return'd with 8 or 9 more
soldiers armed with clubs, and began as I was told with three
or four mem in Mr. Gray's warehouse, asking them why they
had abused the soldier aforesaid ? These men in the ware-
house passed the word down the walk for the hands to come
up, which they did, and soon beat them off. In a few mi-
nutes the soldiers appeared again at the same place, reinforced
to the number of 30 or 40, armed with clubs and cutlasses, and
headed by a tall negro drummer with a cutlass chained to his
body, with which at first rencounter I received a cut on the
head, but being immediately supported by nine or ten more
of the rope-makers, armed with their wouldring sticks, we a-
gain beat them off. And further I say not.
