A further and more particular ACCOUNT Of the Cruel Desperate and Bloody Fight and Uproar, That happened in Ireland on Monday the 6th of May 1700, between the Weavers and Butchers.  
As also the great Number of Men that were Wounded and Killed on both sides, some having their Heads, Arms, Backs, and Legs Broke, in a Cruel and Terriable manner; with other Dreadful Circumstances that occasioned it.  
WE have an Account from Dublin, that on Monday the 6th instant, a strange and disorderly Uproar happened in that City, between the Butchers and Weavers, about a Quarrel that arose between them, which was to been ended by a Match at Football, but the Butchers not being willing to hazard their Persons in such Exercise, the Weavers who are very Courageous Fellows Dared them to it in a very insolent manner, insomuch that at last by Consent both Parties agreed, to put an end to the said Difference by a set Battle on Stevens-Green, where they Assembled and met each other in a Warlike manner (being Forty on each side) with Clubbs, Pikes, Stones, Cleavers, and some Guns, at which time the Weavers giving the Butchers such a sharp Onset, that the Butchers after an Obstinate Resistance, was forced to give way, which the Weavers perceiving renewed the Fight, with such Fury, and Violence, that the Butchers were put into great Confusion and Disorder, and thereupon Fled in great Consternation through the City, to St. Patrick's- street among their chief Shambles, where though having Fortified themselves, the Weavers again Asaulted them with such desperate Courage and Resolution, that they were forced, to take to their Heels a second time, and in fine were totally Defeated, though their Wives at the same time much Discomoded the Weavers, by throwing Stones, pices of Iron, etc. out at the Windows, and from off the Houses, which Enraged them to that degree that in Revenge they pulled Down their Signs and part of some Houses; and in a little time, with the Coming in of the Mobb, they were Increased to a vast Body, insomuch that the Lord Mayor, and most of the the Aldermen, and several Companies of Soldiers, were forced to come to Disperss them, which was done with much Difficulty.  
About Threescore and Twelve Persons were Wounded in this hurly-burly, besides 6 or 7 that were Killed out right upon the Spot, most of them being Butchers that were Wounded; some having their Heads broke, others their Arms, Backs, and Legs in a terrible manner, and 'tis thought many of them will Die of their Wounds. Six of the Chief Ring Leaders are since Apprehended and sent to Newgate under a strict Guard, The whole City was so much amazed at this sudden Uproar and disorder, that most of the Chiefest Citizens durst not go to Bed that Night, but went about the City with part of the Army to prevent further Insurections and Tumults. It was observed that both Butchers and Weavers did more Mischief with Stones than with their other Weapons, there being great Numbers on the Green where they Fought: There were abundance of Mobb that came in during this terrible Encounter, who began in a desperate manner to divid themselves some for the Weavers, and some for the Butchers so that had not the Magistrates with part of the Army suppressed them as they did, this Riotous Tumult might have had very ill Effects, and the rather because a Proclamation lately Published has allowed Corn to be Transported which has caused much Murmuring among the Poorer sort, by the sudden advancement of the price of Bread, and consequently of all sorts of Grain, many Persons of Note are very much blamed for promoting the same, and 'tis said that the Mobb has publicly threatened some particular Persons who had Petitioned the Lord Chief Justices for the said Proclamation.
