The horse and foot guards were immediately sent to disperse the rioters, who fled at their approach.

Next day the guards were doubled at Whitehall, and the train bands of Westminster continued in arms during the whole trial.

The commons entreated the queen, in an address, to take effectual measures for suppressing the present tumults, set on foot and fomented by papists, nonjurors, and other enemies to her title and government.
She expressed a deep sense of their care and concern, as well as a just resentment at these tumultuous and violent proceedings.

She published a proclamation for suppressing the tumults; and several persons being apprehended, were afterwards tried for high-treason.

Two of them were convicted and sentenced to die, but neither suffered.
