The High Constable's remarks:
St. Margaret's.
"Three quarters past 11. Constable came after I was there, house-man and beadle on duty; 41 watchmen, with St. John's united, at eightpence halfpenny per night, with one guinea at
Christmas, and one guinea at Lady-day, and great coats as a present; their beats large; was obliged to take a soldier into custody for being out of his quarters, and very insolent, with several more soldiers, in the streets at 12 o'clock; called out "Watch," but could get no assistance from them.
St. George's.
Half-past 12. Constable and four house-men on duty; 57 watchmen at one shilling per night, and great coats; two men had attempted to break into Lady Cavendish's house, but were prevented.
