On Thursday 2nd February 1815, Mr. Steward made an ascent in his Balloon from the Prussia Gardens. The process of inflation started at about eight in the morning and was ready for flight at one o'clock. By a quarter before two the car was attached and the Aeronaut made his ascent. The style that the balloon began its flight appeared to give general satisfaction to the numerous subscribers present in the gardens; it was however with some difficulty that it cleared the surrounding fir trees and it descended in Messrs. Mackies' nursery grounds, but on immediately throwing out ballast, Mr. Steward continued his journey, floating about 150 feet above the ground. During a short interval he waved his flag to those below, before he fell into Mr. Hall's garden, a few fields away. Immediately upon landing a tumultuous and unfeeling crowd seized the balloon and tore it to pieces. The car was stripped of ornament and carried around the city in triumph. Mr. Steward was rescued from the mob by General Money who conveyed him to safety. He had sustained serious bodily injury and the loss of his property rendered him an object of benevolent commiseration which led to the establishment of a subscription for his relief.


A society, entitled the Brunswick Knights of Norwich, was formed at the RAMPANT HORSE in 1817. On Monday 22nd May 1817 a procession of marchers proceeded from that Inn to the Prussia Gardens to meet their President, Mr. A. T.  Fayerman who was returning from presenting the Address of Congratulation to the Prince Regent honouring him for his great exertions in the noble cause for which they stood a champions. (It was reported that like the Orange Societies in Ireland, the Society excited a little jealously in its affection of superior loyalty and devotion to the Throne).
At the Prussia Gardens an assembled mob broke the windows of Mr. Simmon's house, tore up several shrubs and threw volleys of stones at those members on horseback. As the procession passed into the City several other acts of lawlessness took place, including the breaking several panes of glass in Mr. Fayerman's house. The Magistrates at length ordered out the Police, who soon restored  tranquility.

During the 3rd week of September 1827 John James Smith, one of the principal Officers from Bow Street was in Norwich seeking organised gangs of London pickpockets who were travelling from town to town in light spring carts. Six of the thieves were said to have visited the Prussia Gardens, but they had left by the time Smith arrived. The following day the six were arrested but another six had left the city by spring cart that morning. The Norwich magistrates set the criminals free on condition that they quit the city immediately. None of the property stolen during their visit was retrieved. One of the `gentlemen' shouted back to Smith as they left that "he would return and take the Bank" 30.09.1827
