He had fondly persuaded himself that the campaign was terminated; and that: the natives, disheartened by the fall of their king, and the defeat of their army, would hasten to offer him the crown '. A few days dissipated the illusion. London was put in a state of defence by the industry of the citizens; the inhabitants' of Rom- ney repulsed a division of the Norman fleet, which attempted to enter the harbour, and a numerous force, which had assembled at Dover, threatened to act on the rear of the invaders, if they proceeded towards the capital. The first object of William was to disperse the latter; and in his march he severely chastised the town of Romney. The force at Dover melted away at his approach; and the fears of the garrison induced them to offer him the keys of the place.3 And to This acquisition was an invaluable advantage to London. 1 Guil.

Armed with warrants from the magistrates or the under-sheriff, they selected a particular district, and visited every catholic family under the pretext of enforcing the law.

Experience proved that it was most prudent to submit. The very show of resistance generally provoked a forced search, in which plate, jewels, and the most valuable effects were carried off as superstitious articles, and the owner was conducted to prison, unless he would redeem himself by the payment of a large bribe''.
