A Royal Progress and Local Tragedies in June London
News from Deal and London detail arrivals and sailings of ships including the Gallipoly, Gallipoly Galley, and Nathaniel from Amsterdam. Royal family conduct, including a Richmond visit by the Prince of Wales and a large Bishop’s visitation, are followed by public works and court announcements. Local misfortunes include a worker’s leg broken in Hyde Park, a throat-cutting suicide near Enfield, a plasterer’s fall near Leadenhall Street, and a drowning near Thomson’s Dock. Dublin reports cover a legal trial over livings, a murder conviction, and weather-damaged Kilkenny. Prices for South Sea stocks and Clarke sermons are listed.
