[Boston. Journal of Occurrences, continued] June 11. A
young man, an apprentice to a house carpenter in this town,
happening to be looking over a fence on a small hill, near
the assembly room, in order to take a view of the company
there dancing; a centinel who had been placed at the door,
came behind him and gave him a blow on the head, by which he
was struck to the ground, and suffered a great loss blood;
The soldier's pretence for this violence, being that he had
been spat upon, by one on the hill.
