Peter Robert states that there has been great turmoil in the City since some British soldiers attempted to cut down the liberty pole. A number of skirmishes between citizens and soldiers resulted, with some blood shed, and Peter Robert notes that men are no longer safe in their own houses. He also mentions a proposed bill that would prevent the Manor from voting for County members.
