James attacked by bully boys

James Reiby was walking home from collecting oysters on Saturday the 6th of February 1800 when suddenly two bullies jumped out from behind a bush and attacked him. Stony punched him on the side of the head while Mick held him by the shoulder and punched him in the ear and on the cheek. Wildly James swang his bag of oysters which hit Stony and sent him to the ground, meanwhile two solders walked pass and the two bullies ran away. The solders helped James home and he gave the solders the bag of oysters in return.
