The riot began on the 12th July 1795, when a man was refused beer at a public house and was able to compell a mob to destroy the furnishings of said house. They assembled again the next day in St. George's Fields, Southwark, and sacked a recruiting house there before being broken up by the Surrey Fencibles.
