Rebellion of 1837Montgomery's TavernCopyright © 1998 By Lorine McGinnis SchulzeMontgomery's Tavern, on Yonge Street in Toronto, was the gathering place on 7 December 1837 for MacKenzie's two senior officers, Samuel Lount and Anthony Van Egmond, and their followers. That same night, the rebels, without MacKenzie, marched down Yonge Street to take the city. Near what is now Yonge and Dundas Streets, they met a militia force, fired once, and then fled. Back at Montgomery's Tavern they gathered and made new plans. Meanwhile, militia troops and those loyal to Britain came from Niagara, Hamilton, Oakville and Port Credit to Toronto. At noon on December 8th, they began to march towards Montgomery's Tavern. A dozen rebels were killed, two dozen more wounded and the rest fled. Lount and Van Egmond were captured and sentenced to hang. Lount was executed but Van Egmond died in prison. Many of their followers were transported to Australia in banishment for life. MacKenzie fled to the U.S.A. where he began a series of border raids into Upper Canada.
