London Crowd Rescues Woman From Mob At Guildhall Pump
An unruly mob dragged and pelted a woman accused of shoplifting, forcing bystanders to intervene. She was carried to Guildhall Pump for attempted humiliation before a civic rescue ended the spree with a local gentleman sheltering her. Meanwhile a Bow footpad attacked Mr. Chamberlain near Mile End Turnpike but was thwarted when Chamberlain grabbed a pistol and alerted rescuers.
