Transcribed from the 30 December 1824 edition of The Enniskillen Chronicle & Erne Packet newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Riot in Edinburgh.--Last night (Monday) many of the streets in the middle of the city were thrown into the greatest confusion by a mob of mischievous boys, about 300 in number, headed by a party of journeymen bakers, who assembled on the bridges, and therefrom proceeded along the Cowgate, High-street, &c., with the wanton and dastardly intention of insulting all the Irish they could seize upon.--Several persons were made the victims of their brutality, and as many as they met were collared, and questioned as to their country.--Several windows have been broken, and we fear many of the poor Irish have been hurt.--The proceedings continued for nearly two hours, without any force being opposed to them. The Police seemed not able or afraid to encounter them, and a party of military men was at last procured to quell them--a few of the most outrageous are in custody.--Edinburgh Star. =========================
