London Gossips and Local Troubles Spotted in Seaford and Town
From Seaford, Sussex, word spreads of a Dutch 200 ton vessel named the Holland Trader wrecked near the port with crew saved, amid suspicions of smuggling. A London scene follows with arrests, a riot at Bow Street, a dramatic suicide by a Trinity College man, a tiny infant found in Golden Square, stamp theft at a chapel, a murder confession from a Clerkenwell workhouse patient, and a household fire hazard warning. An Anecdote about Walpole and bishops, hops prices, and notices of deaths, appointments, and stock quotes fill the rest.
