The rioters numbered about 500 or 600 young men and continued for three days, during which the palace of Robert Gray the Bishop of Bristol, the Mansion House, and private homes and property were looted and destroyed, along with demolition of much of the gaol. About 100 people involved were tried in January 1832 and four men were hanged despite a petition of 10,000 Bristolian signatures, which was given to King William IV.
