Clerical Collations and London Riots at Westminster
The Rev Straight receives East Wittering prebend with leave. Rev Butler collared for Barton living. Westminster sessions hear recognizances, muttered prosecutions, and a stand in Hyde Park. A mob riot follows near St Patrick's, with students and Watch clashes, several wounded, and five prisoners to Newgate. Also stock prices rise as the South Sea and Banks report quotable moves.
