Roll Up placard Hyde Park

"Placards were posted about the streets on Thursday, calling upon the citizens to "roll-up" and hold a monster meeting in Hyde Park that evening, for the purpose of expressing their hatred of the terrible Mongolians, and their sympathy with the lambs of Burrangong. The evening, however, was very wet and nobody came."

The Sydney Morning Herald, 29 July 1861, p.2.
