Debts, duties, and royal inquiries during a tense season
Reports from London and Windsor recount Pitt's reception of the Prince of Wales debt settlement proposals and the king's reply. The Prince must fully account for debts, avoid future indebtedness, and income increases depend on whether all or part of the debts are covered. News notes trade shifts, a Botany Bay convoy, and proceedings in Lord George Gordon's court with a humorous Leicester fishman spoof.
