In the fifth image, a grocer complains about Fox's actions against smuggling. In the sixth, on his return from the Grocers' Hall on February 28, Pitt participates in a riot. He is opposed by a diminutive Jeffery Dunstan, the popular 'mayor of Garrett" and Fox's supporter. In the seventh, Pitt and his companions are thrashed by men with sticks
