On June 1, 1823, the Honourable Anthony Lockwood, a member of New Brunswick’s Executive Council, dictated a proclamation in Fredericton’s public square.
He then took to his horse, galloped through the streets, and, brandishing a pair of sawn-off pistols, declared that he was overthrowing the government.

Lockwood’s one-man coup d’état failed. Arrested by the High Sheriff, he was jailed and later declared mad.
