Monday, 21.--I rode on to Bandon. From three in the afternoon till past seven, the mob
of Cork marched in grand procession and then burned me in effigy near Dant's Bridge.
Wednesday, 23.--The mob was still patrolling the streets, abusing all that were called Methodists and threatening to murder them and pull down their houses, if they did not leave this way.
Thursday, 24.--They again assaulted Mr. Stockdale's house, broke down the boards he had nailed up against the windows, destroyed what little remained of the window frames and shutters, and damaged a considerable part of his goods.
