On Saturday the magistrates of the city of Durham went in
procession with the recruiting officer's and volunteer's
drum. . . and having ordered several barrels of ale to be
given to the market folks at the Cross, address'd the
populace in a polite manner on the necessity of augmenting
his majesty's forces at the present critical juncture, and
on the advantageous terms offered to volunteers, &c.
particularly to such as would inlist with them, as they had
provided a fund to support their children and widows; in
consequence of such several stout fellows inlisted at the
drum head immediately.
