Note 607 — Chapter XXII
Reading edition
Husband's Collections, 415, 416.
"The Masters of Queen's, Jesus, and St. John's, were sent up to London, and led through the midst of Bartholomew Fair in a leisurely manner, to the endangering of their lives, up as far as Temple Bar, and so back through the City to the Tower, on purpose that they might be hooted at and stoned by the rabble."—Coles' MSS., vol. vii., quoted in Akerman's Hist. of University, i. 260.
The Master of Queen's, and some others, are said to have been put on board a ship at Wapping, where they suffered much, and were then sent to prison. It is impossible to determine the exact truth amidst the exaggerated statements by Walker. Hot-headed party men always overshoot the mark, and bring discredit even on the truths they tell.
