From the Country-Journal, October 4. Bristol, Sept. 29.
This morning the weavers arose in and about this city, to
the number of about 1500, on account of their wages, and
assaulted the house of Mr. Fetcham in Castle-Ditch, and
other master-weavers; and tho' a detachment of soldiers were
sent, they continued to break the windows; . . . [7 lines]
It is now ten o'clock at night, and the weavers are again
assembled in Temple street, the city in an uproar, the drums
beating, the soldiers under arms; and what the consequence
will be we know not.
