ROCHESTER, February 18th, 1824 — An extraordinary episode unfolded at the Black Boy in Rochester, home to a weekly meeting of a Druids’ Lodge. The solemnity of their rites was abruptly interrupted by an unexpected intrusion. An officer of the 64th regiment, lacking the necessary credentials, forcibly entered the lodge following a denied request for entry. This intrusion, led by a zealous officer in search of his men, was met with an unexpected mix of fortitude and calm by the lodge members, causing the officer to reconsider his approach amidst the surreal surroundings.
The situation was swiftly managed by the presence of city constables, leading to the officer’s detainment. A subsequent bail posting by Sir Richard Williams facilitated the officer’s release until his court appearance. Before Mayor Sir Archibald Christie and notable military figures, the officer’s actions were scrutinized, culminating in a reprimand and a plea for continued harmony between the military and Rochester’s citizenry. The officer’s apology and financial restitution closed the episode, maintaining the delicate balance between local traditions and military presence.
