 The Battle Of Crossgar
Damage was done to the windows and doors, furniture and crockery broken and the front door was riddled with shot, which lends support to the police claim that some of the Threshers were armed.
As the parade was turning the corner of Widow Boyd's public house much pushing and shoving occurred; but it was not until a sixteen year old lad called Cleland, left the Killyleagh Street party, ran across the street and attempted to drag a collarette off a young man n the procession, that events deteriorated.
As Cleland and the drummer tussled over possession of the sash, Constable Bradley of the Crossgar Barracks and two other officers, ran over to separate them.Each opposing side saw this as an attack upon their own party so stone throwing increased and shots were heard.

 The Revivalist '81 (May)
This split in Presbyterians in Crossgar has resulted from the recent refusal of Down Presbytery to sanction the use of the Lissara Presbyterian Church's lecture hall for an evangelical mission and because the church's polling list was revised, according to some of the members, contrary to the rules of the Presbyterian Church.
Gibson stated that interest in the Crossgar move had been manifested in various parts of Northern Ireland, and that some other congregations of the Free Church of Ulster were in process of formation.
Paisley said that people in Crossgar had asked themselves what was wrong with Irish Presbyterianism, when it did not want the Gospel in its church hall and when it suspended elders who stood up for the rights of the people.
