A Relation of a late Tumult hapning in Chancery-Lane by certain Gentlemen of Lincolnes-Inne THe night as wellas the day is not exempted from nefarious practises for on the fasting-day night 28 of September at 11 or 12 a clock 9 or 10 Gentlemen would violently have attempted to set fire on the Court of Guard-house in Chancery-lane taking thence away divers boards but by the sudden confluence and flocking together of many of the Inhabitants of the Lane they were disturbed in their intent and opposed so that they conglomorated and gathered together to the number of 20 or 25 threatening sudden destruction to all opposers M. Lee an Apothecary being a spectator of this beginning mutiny came downe to give Captaine Browne information thereof and desire his assistance who replyed that there were at the Exchangesome City forces but knew not whether he should meet them oportunely or no and therefore he would beat up his Drums for security of his owne men while these distractions continued and matters were in the heate of agitation Captaine Lievtenant Flanes led 60 or 80 men into the Lane not advancing any further because he had certaine information of iminent danger and destruction This doubtfull retraction in the Captaine animated one Iohn Reeve a Cooke to be forward in this designe desiring his staffe out of his hand and promising to leade them up boldly to the Gates of Lincolnes-Inne to affront and suppresse the said Delinquents Whereupon by his earnest perswasion and forward preferring of himselfe the Captaine at his instigation resigned and delivered him up his staffe who with a valiant resolution conducted his men forward with his sword drawn and elevated in his hand victoriously captivating 3 of the delinquents opponents prisoners who had formerly transported by their owne unjust passion which blinds judgement inflicted disgracefull punishment on his man insomuch as they pumpt him most opprobriously for a trespasse of words in saying that the house that was building in Iack-an-apes-lane and in Chancery-lane was a Court of Guard-house Whereupon they presently carried him away and in executing on him their punishment of pumping they upbraided him with many menacing cominations saying that they would instruct his ignorance in the definition and nature of a Court of Guard-house and teach him to know what it was and after many bitter and reviling speeches their anger being growne outragious they conveyed him to the pump and pumpt him which disgrace reflecting on his Master must needs irritate and incense him much by this indignity thus offered in this conflict and sudden mutiny he said Iohn Reeve was wounded in both his shoulders the Inhabitants by this unexpected tumult were put into a great distraction feares and murmurs being alwayes the consequents of such temerarious rash actions but because they were afraid to give impediment to their trading that private interest stopt the clamour and activity of this disordered eruption of the Gentlemen and the various accidents aforesaid though most certaine and too lately done were silenced Thus discontentments though long stifled daily breake out in this Kingdome FINIS
