On the market day, a common labourer, like Massenello of Naples, formed the resolution to lead a mob. He therefore erected his standard, which was a mop inverted, assembled the crowd, and roared out the old note, "Redress of Grievances."

The discussion was continued with considerable vigor by Messrs. Several of these gave it as their experience that the best castings contained the most blowholes, and Mr. McCallem accepted the pronouncement, with some slight qualification.
The ancient increase of the town was towards the South, because of the great road, the conveniency of water, the church, and the manor-house, all which lay in that quarter: but the modern extension was chiefly towards the North, owing to the scions of her trades being transplanted all over the country, in that direction, as far as Wednesbury, Walsall, and Wolverhampton.
Joseph Hopkins died in 1683, who gave 200l. with which an estate was purchased in Sutton Coldfield; the rents to be laid out in coats, gowns, and other relief for the poor of Birmingham: he also gave 200l. for the poor of Wednesbury: 200l. to distresed quakers: 5l. 10s. to the poor of Birmingham, and the same sum to those of Wednesbury, at his death.
