Chabert & Mr. Rishton?
A. A Peon came and told the Jailer in my hearing that he and the other peons were going to fasten a door, but were prevented by some gentlemen whereupon Mr. Rishton ordered 2 of us to go with him, and to go with fixed Bayonets, 9 of us or thereabouts had musquets, (I did not count how many) and the rest had only sticks. I had a musquet. We went with the Gaoler upstairs, & the Gaoler wanted to shut the door & sent this the gentlemen to the their apartments
