Drownings in London and crime reports from April 1735
A London report recalls several fatalities at Millbank and near Somerset House after boats were driven over by sudden winds, with watermen and passengers drowned. A highway robbery near Hamersmith left Mr Turner robbed but his bank notes intact. Also noted are court dinners, clerks of chancery appointments, a noble couple’s church visit, and a series of executions in Meath following murders and robberies.
