This, however, did not suit Wild's temper, who called it a cheat, and objected against it as requiring no dexterity, but what every blockhead might put in execution. Wild now made a considerable figure, and passed for a gentleman of great fortune in the funds.
A cry was then raised by the leaders to attack Wild's house, and the fury of the mob was instantly directed to that quarter. Wrenched from their holds, the iron palisades in front of the thief-taker's dwelling were used as weapons to burst open the door. While this was passing, Jonathan opened one of the upper windows, and fired several shots upon the assailants.
