Royalty, crimes, and bonds marked in old London notices
Royal visit to the House of Peers and visits by nobility contrast with a marriage treaty rumor and police-court cases. Reports include a robbery near Pancras, pay details for seamen’s quarters, public punishment of Mother Needham, a Hicks's Hall assault verdict, and late 1720s financial listings with South Sea stock, bonds, and insurance figures.
