and took their departure without damage; but having heard it propagated that an honorable gentleman, at the north part of the town, had been accessory in laying on the stamp duties, &c, they repaired to his house, where, upon being informed by some gentlemen of
integrity and reputation, that he had not only spoke, but wrote to the contrary, they retired, and having patrolled the streets, returned to their respective habitations, as quietly as they had done the night before."
