Hi - I am wondering if anyone can give me any more information about the riots that ocurred on 17th July 1852 around ? Ross. I think they were to do with elections. I have a copy of a letter that describes how fearful they were and I would love to know more about the context. Thank you - Flissie.

There are reports in the BNA concerning this riot but the detailed ones are rather too long to transcribe. If you care to contact me via the blue envelope I can send you a couple of downloads.
