The Ghost of St Andrew’s Haunts Holborn
James Carnes, about 16, appears before the magistrate charged with the ghost incident at St Andrew’s Holborn. Police stopped a rising panic caused by credulous crowds and a staged specter, revealing the youthful culprit’s admission of staging the ghost for money and amusement. The father of the youth pledges future caution. A separate fraud targeting Mr Patrick, linendraper, unfolds as a boy fabricates a order from a nonresident customer.

Multiple New Arrivals in Custody Near Minories and Acton
About twenty men and women, mostly foreigners, were taken into custody after being found wandering near the Minories by day and hiding in ruined buildings at night. The Lord Mayor arranged aid and sent them to respective consuls or parishes. British subjects were also assisted. A separate incident on Oxford Street involved a pregnant woman assaulted by a disguised man demanding money, who threatened to kill her with a knife and stole a 3s token after a brutal attack. The Suffolk and General Country Amicable Insurance Office held a meeting at the Angel Inn, Bury, reporting strong finances and proposing a 45 percent payout to insured members and extra profits to directors and the capital fund.
