Riots and Executions Mark Early 18th Century News
Remonstrances to the King are to be examined by Council as deputies report. Imperial troops near the Rhine and new fortifications prompt cantonment orders. A Whitehall council considers Irish bills, and Mr Wirton dies at Mrs Holman's in Southwark. Thirteen malefactors are executed at Tyburn, with graphic details of their deaths. Local town interest includes Montague and Wilmer offering service as burgesses, a riot by Tory mobs against Doddidge, and student clashes at the academy. Market notes list South Sea and Banks securities and lottery receipts.
