Spanish term or phrase: sonada popular

Cuando se expatriaron los jesuitas hubo en Guanajuato una sonada popular que castigó al visitador D. José Gálvez, haciendo ahorcar a varios infelices y predicando al pueblo desde el balcón de su casa. Esta misma pena, aunque secretamente, (según se asegura) sufrió este mismo ministro en Madrid. Impulsó a la plebe de Guanajuato, el vergonzoso tributo de ocho mil pesos anuales que pagaba la Diputación el Minería; esta pena influyó mucho a la Revolución de 1810.
