Journal of the Times. [Continued.] 1769. May 3. Last Lord's
Day some assemblies in this town, were greatly disturbed
during Divine Service, by the rattling of drums and play of
the fifes. A party of soldiers with those noisy instruments
passed one of those assemblies twice in the space of half an
hour: As there has been lately no disturbances of this sort
in the time of service, it is to be hoped, that this
behaviour was accidental, and rather owing to the
inattention or wildness of the officer who commanded the
party, than to a design of again bringing up the practice.
