The GunPowder Plot: On Monday night “Young Torquay” celebrated the 271st anniversary of the memorable night when “Guido Fawkes,” who, with tinder and dark lantern, was fortunately caught just as he was about to blow up “King, lords and bishops in Parliament assembled.” Soon after dusk, squibs, crackers, and Roman candles were discharged in the neighbourhood of the Strand, which about nine o’clock presented a brilliant appearance. A large number of tar barrels were burnt. At Torre the celebration was carried a little too far. About midnight, a number of young men entered the yard at the rear of Mr. Pinsent’s house in Lucius Street and stole a cask of boiled oil and a cask half filled with Alexandra oil. This they removed to the top of Belgrave Road and burnt opposite Hall’s buildings. The streets presented a brilliant appearance; but it is fortunate that no damage to property occurred. The heat was so great that the flagging upon which the barrels stood was cracked to atoms.
