SCAGG.772.041
28 Sep-5 Oct 1772:21 (15/731)
London. . . July 20. Yesterday in the evening Mr. Hill, one
of the students, who was lately expelled from the University
of Oxford, preached a sermon on Hampstead-heath, where, it
is computed, about five thousand persons were assembled on
the occasion. A company of about two hundred men and women
paraded about the town in the afternoon, singing hymns, &c.
but were frequently interrupted and insulted by a young
fellow, said to be a shopman to a tradesman in Holborn, who
was at length seized by the populace, and very severely
handled. The whole was a scene of riot and confusion.
