Jame Coles otherwise Farmer states
that on the morning of 4th Nov[embe]r.
between 8 and 9 in the morning
I was on the Farm Road going to
my Breakfast when I saw the
people running out and I heard
a noise up by the Waterloo and
hearing the Chartists were coming
I went up the Farm Road as fast
as I could go and when I came
up to the Turnpike Road I saw
a man standing looking
towards the Waterloo and I went
up to him and said the soldiers
will make a mess of them
meaning the Chartists if they
come down to town. The man
said yes they would and there

10 or a dozen gone down to the
Westgate. The man was standing
at the bottom of the Lane
going into the Poor House
by the Friars As soon as the
man said this I went towards
the Waterloo and then saw
John Rees when we went
on together till we met the
mob with Frost and Jack the
Fifer and Frost asked
us where the soldiers were
I said I had heard there were
10 or a dozen at the Westgate
& the others at the Union
I did not know the man
I saw and spoke to at the bottom

of the lane leading to the Friars


Observations -

A person might come from
the Union by the Friars to where
the Boy saw the man at the bottom
of the Lane in 5 minutes and from
the Turnpike or Stow Church by
which the Soldiers must pass
within 3 Minutes. This explains
the objection in point of time raised
by Sir J Pollock
