at the north end they were all in arms; and the like report was at the north end respecting the south end: whereupon Capt. John George Captain of the Frigate Rose, then at anchor in Boston harbor. was immediately seized, and about nine of the clock the drums beat through the town, and an ensign was set up upon the beacon. Then Mr. Bradstreet, Mr. Danforth, Major Richards, Dr. Cooke, and Mr. Addington, &c., were brought to the Council-house by a company of soldiers under the command of Capt. Hill. The mean while, the people in arms did take up and put into goal Justice Bullivant, Justice Foxcraft, Mr. Randolf, Sheriff Sherlock, Capt. Ravenscroft, Capt. White, Farewel, Broadbent, Crafford, Larkin, Smith, and many more, as also Mercey, then goal-keeper, and put Scates, the bricklayer, in his place.

This remonstrance was effectual; the committee, to whom the petition was referred, reported that it is inexpedient for the Legislature to appoint any Committee to view or mark out any of the highways aforesaid; and the report was accepted. Agreeably to the vote of the town, before recited, the Selectmen laid out a road over the lands of Hill and others, so as to make a continuous avenue from Canal Bridge to Cambridge Common; and the road was accepted by the town July 10, 1809. But this was not satisfactory to Mr. Craigie; The road, as laid out by the town, did not include the portion already constructed by Mr. Craigie, and no damages were awarded. and on the following day (July 11) he presented a petition to the Court of Sessions, that a road might be laid out from the west end of the Canal Bridge in a straight line through t

Another meeting was held, Nov. 1, 1830, when it was voted by a majority of 299 against 211, to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of the question, whether the town will petition the Legislature so far to repeal the act authorizing the enclosure of the Common, as to secure to the public the right to travel over said Common by the road passing by Dr. Hill's and the late Deacon Moore's Mason Street. to the road leading to Canal Bridge, Cambridge Street. and also the right to travel over said Common by the road heretofore called the Cambridge and Concord Turnpike. Although the town thus declined to ask for even a partial repeal of the obnoxious act, it appears that individuals presented a petition to the General Court; for at a meeting of the subscribers for enclosing and ornamenting Cambridge Common, Jan. 11, 1832, it was voted, to req
