  "18c news report reading as follows: At the Goose-fair in 1764, there was a tumultuous riot, on account of the high price of cheese, which was selling at from 28s.
  to 30s. per cwt.
  The violence of the people burst forth like a tor-
  rent in the open fair; cheeses were rolled down Wheeler-gate and Peck-lane in abundance, and the mayor, in his attempt to restore the peace, was knocked down with one in the Market-place. The riot act was read, a detachment of the 15th Dragoons was called out, many of the rioters were taken prisoners, and one innocent man was shot by the military."
