Scope and Content
He was awakened by noise and shouting in the street at about 1.00 a.m. His house is divided from the house of Thomas Shepherd by only a thin wooden partition. He did not get out of bed but he heard and plainly distinguished the voices of John Higbid, Thomas Humbles, Thomas Pratt, John Elkerton and Thomas Thorne and they called out 'Get up Shepherd, here are no boys now, we are ready armed and will beat your brains out.' He believes there were many others in the street but he did not know them by their voices.
