(C) Plowden 1 or II 492 (a) Of any disturbance of tranquillity the
only recorded instance I have been able to find is this following. Before
it is read his observations should be kept in mind. 1. In the
first place that in the magnitude of the interest at stake considered
the mischief done — done to property alone and not to person was
inconsiderable, in the next place that it had for its authors a promiscuous multitude
and not the associated Volunteers.

Apolphus III 179. 177 Ao 1779 12 Oct. Session of the Irish Parliament
Plowden I or II. 492 Ao 179 1779. The nation
rejoiced at this glorious opening of the Session and poured forth its
gratitude to Parliament: they in their turn paid their tribute
of thanks to the Volunteers . . . Whilst this debate was going forward,
the populace assembled round the Parliament House
and with full impunity menaced the Members, and demanded
oaths of them to support the menacers, committing
several acts of outrage or intimidation. "Thus for Plowden.

In the Annual register for 1779 there did not .
in a letter dated Dublin Nov. 17 "In Mr Scott the Attorney General's
house, " destroying the windows on the ground floor, and
"doing some small damage to the next storey"
"of the damage." At the last Westminster Election, Lord Castlereagh's

furious rabble . . .anonymous letters .. the blameable inefficiency
of the government suffered the military to be superseded by the

from the lawyers corps unarmed, persuading the mob, when satiated
with their own excesses (it has been seen what excesses) to disperse

A few wid windows
broken, and "the furious
rabble satiated. But
that which it seems was
not satiated was the f
loyal fury of the historian:
and that with which it
was not satiated was
the blood of the oppressed
who thought then, as
every body thinks now
that their oppression had
continued long enough.
