Bread-riots broke out at Tiverton on Tuesday. It was reported

to the mob, that a farmer named Gill was selling grain unfit for human food ; they upset his grain, and drove him for shelter to an inn. The Mayor suppressed the tumult ; but, excited by reports of the Exeter riots, the mob again as- sembled, and went to work at window-smashing. The Riot Act was then read; special constables were sworn in; and on being menaced with the military, the rioters dispersed.
