24-31 Jul 1746:42 (522)
We have very credible information from the borough of
Norfolk, that on the 23d instant, they made extraordinary
rejoicings there, upon the good news of the defeat of the
Rebels by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland. The
account we have of it is as follows:
The effigie of the Pretender, in the full proportion of a
man, in a Highland dress, . . . [2 lines, placed in a chair
in a cavalcade, viz.] 1st. Three drummers, 2d. a piper, 3d.
three violins, 4th. six men with long white rods, with
slips of paper like sashes over their shoulders, and
different mottos wrote on them in capital letters, as,
liberty and property, and no pretender. No pretender. No
wooden shoes, . . . [20 lines, bonfire, burned effigie,
toasts, illumination.]
To conclude, that the ladies might also partake of the
rejoicings on this extraordinary occasion, the gentlemen
entertained them with a ball; and the evening concluded with
innocent mirth and unaffected joy. . .
