For the preventing tumultuous orders which may happen upon pretence of Assembling to make bonfires and fireworks, His Majesty's Council ordered that "no person whatsoever do presume to make or encourage the making any bonfires or any public fireworks without leave from his Majesty or the Council Board", the Court finds that this order has not been observed as it should have been.
