I heard that once when Hamilton tried to publicly defend Jay's treaty with the British, he was stoned. What do you know about this?
(sorry for my english)
Stoned is a pretty exaggerated term, he got a rock thrown at his head. In the July of 1795, Hamilton saw a rally about the Jay Treaty and when he tried to convince the shouting crowd that the treaty was in their best interest, he was hit in the head with a rock and eventually left the stage. [x] Funny enough, George Cabot references this to Rufus King in a letter dated on the 27th;
It was observed here that your Jacobins were prudent to endeavor to knock out Hamilton's brains to reduce him to an equality with themselves; but I trembled at the first account which was related of that adventure & offer'd up an unfeigned prayer for his safety. I mean the silent prayer of an affectionate heart.

Hope this helps, and you're good!
