From the Richmond Dispatch, 7/8/1863

Noisy. - On Monday afternoon last officer Adams arrested Margaret Barrett, a middle-aged woman, for attempting to force her way into the Libby prison to furnish the Yankees with bread, and for being noisy and disorderly in the streets. When called before the Mayor yesterday her tongue broke loose from its fastenings, and kept up such a continuous uproar and confusion that she had to be sent to prison before anything else could be heard.
