Rioters repelled by Mr Howard’s guard at Turnpike Old Street
An account from Corn Exchange notes false reports about royalist plots and militia firings. Mr Howard, a Quaker and tin works owner, rallied workers and artillery to defend his house on a Thursday night, repulsing a mob and capturing two rioters. The scene reflects the danger of riots and the mob’s reliance on anonymous letters, while praising the orderly countermeasures that preserved peace.
