From The Daily Advertiser

We have been in a state of great tumult for a day or two past. The causes of which, as well as I can digest from various accounts, are as follows: The young students of physic have, for some time past, been loudly complained of for their very frequent and wanton trespasses in the burial grounds of this City. The corpse of a young gentleman from the West Indies was lately taken up, the grave left open and the funeral clothing scattered about. A very handsome and much-esteemed young lady of good connection was also carried off. These, with various other acts of a similar kind, inflamed the minds of people exceedingly, and the young member of the faculty as well as the mansions of the dead, have been quickly watched.
