Excerpt from High Church Politics: Being a Seasonable Appeal to the Friends of the British Constitution, Against the Practices and Principles of High Churchmen; As Exemplified in the Late Opposition to the Repeal of the Test Laws, and in the Riots at Birmingham

The sum granted by parliament in 1716, to make good these damages, was ?. 5579. 150 3 1/2d.; being the amount returned by inquisitions taken on commissions issued out of the Court of Exchequer, in consequence of this address of the House of Commons.

The liberality of government was not confined to the above sum; for the distinguished loyalty of the Dissenters had been marked by the destruction of their property in other parts of the kingdom. At Manchester, &c. their places of worship were rebuilt at the public expence. This was before the Riot Act took effect. But that ad has not been an excuse to government for withholding its bounty, in cafes for which no Compensation is provided. In 1716, the mug-house of one Read, in Salisbury-court, in Fleet-street, was attacked by a High Church mob. In defending himself he shot one of the rioters, and was tried for murder, and acquitted. The mob had destroyed part of the furniture in his house, but had not begun to demolish the house itself, in which cafe alone the hundred is bound to make good the damage. The magistrates read the proclamation in the Riot Act; and for staying beyond the limited time, five of the rioters were executed in Fleet-street. Read received ?. 400 from government for his damages and charges; and one Gill also, who kept another mug-house in Cheapside, received at the fame time ?.200 for his damages. In the riots in Loudon, in the year 1780, damages sustained by Catholics to the amount of several thousands of pounds, which could not be recovered under the ad, were paid by government. The Commons had resolved to address the King to make good the Iosses of the foreign embassadors, and to prosecute the rioters; but upon his fending a mestage, that he had ordered such prosecution, the address was not presented. The chief magistrate of the city was prosecuted by the Attorney-general, without any application from the sufferers, for not having suppressed the riots in the first instance by the civil power: he was convicted, and escaped punishment only by death.
