Letters from Nottingham [England] say, that the tradesmen
there were so rejoiced at the news of the duties on tobacco
being to be raised by way of excise, that several young men,
of different persuasions in matter of religion (some whereof
were sons of the Aldermen of no small note) met on Wednesday
last in the evening in the belfrey of one of the churches
there, and having put the bells in full mourning, rung a
peal suitable to the occasion.
