The rioters severely damaged a number of Dissenters' Meeting houses, including one used by Baptists. This resulted in the publication of this anonymous pamphlet in which charges of sexual impropriety were levelled at one of the Baptist ministers.The second and third items concern five university students, Charles John Dalrymple, Alfred Westmacott, John Aikenhead, Robert Scot Skirving, and Edward Kellet, who had all been tried at the Sheriff Court in Edinburgh for taking part in a large-scale snowball fight which seems to have got rather out of hand. The police and the magistrates were accused of over-reacting although all the students were eventually acquitted.Queen's College, Bath, proposed in the last pamphlet, was never built.
