On the following day the prisoners were conveyed from the cutter in carts, under a strong military guard to the Castle of Newcastle, to which place a number of refractory seamen, etc. followed the prisoners. Previous to their arrival, all the avenues leading to the Castle were guarded by parties of the Northumberland and Newcastle Volunteer Cavalry, and Dismounted troop, to prevent the admission of the anticipated crowd, and a powerful phalanx was placed in front of the Castle gates. On the arrival of the party in the Castle Garth, the conduct of the mob was so outrageous, that the riot act was read by the right worshipful the mayor, and two of the ringleaders were taken into custody, one of whom was recognised as having been very active at Shields while the prisoners were conveyed from the cutter to the carts. A military guard remained all night at the Castle.
