Section 69: Definitions: Unlawful assembly. Riot

When three or more persons, with intent to carry out some common purpose,
assemble in such a manner or, being assembled, conduct themselves in such a
manner as to cause persons in the neighbourhood to fear on reasonable grounds that
the persons so assembled will tumultuously disturb the peace, or will by such
assembly needlessly and without any reasonable occasion provoke other persons
tumultuously to disturb the peace, they are an unlawful assembly.
It is immaterial that the original assembling was lawful if, being assembled; they
conduct themselves with a common purpose in such a manner as aforesaid.
An assembly of three or more persons who assemble for the purpose of protecting any
house against persons threatening to break and enter the house in order to commit a
felony or misdemeanour therein is not an unlawful assembly.
When an unlawful assembly has begun to act in so tumultuous a manner as to disturb
the peace, the assembly is called a riot, and the persons assembled are said to be
riotously assembled.
