Boston, March 5. . . [Contentious encounters of British 29th
regiment with Bostonians, 54 lines] No less audacious was
the behaviour of a tall Negro drummer, to whom Justice Hill
particularly spoke, ordering him home, but he intent on
wounding, or probably killing the inhabitants, headed the
party sword in hand; but had his sword beat from his hold,
which however being chained to his body he carried it with
him. He is said to be much wounded. . . [21 more lines of
confrontations.]
