From the Richmond Whig, 9/4/1861

STONE BATTLES. - The “Shockoe Hill Cats” and “Butcher Cats” have changed their trysting grounds from the hill at the head of Governor’s street to Navy Hill, between 4^th and 7^th streets, where every Sunday afternoon the whole neighborhood is grievously annoyed by the hideous yells and general misconduct of the boys engaged in these outrages. The police have not, of late, extended their visits to the vicinity of the suburbs referred to, but we trust they will perceive the propriety of doing so in future. We wee informed that an infant was struck by a missile thrown by one of the belligerents, last Sunday, and was nearly killed.
