I d I was called upon to attend a Sick Woman
_______________about 10 o'clock on 4th November last
at Michaelstone vedw in this Co-y - That when I arrived
at Pie [Pye]Corner near Tredegar Park I saw about 100
Men near the Gate leading into the Park armed with
pikes, pieces of scythes attached to sticks, and one man
at the endof the mob had a Sword - I saw the Prisoner in
the Mob - I advised the Mob not to go on, as 3 Packets
of Soldiers had arrived at Newport - That I heard the
Prisoner urge the people to Come on, to let them
know what the Colliers could do (or words to this effect)
That I heard continual firing of Guns in the Park
I should say 50 times in about 10 Minutes - I considered
that there was great danger of
life and property and I went immediately and
informed The Revd Mr Coles of what I witnessed
