Houghton Ship Rumor and Courtly Proceedings at St James
A report from Town notes the Houghton from Mocha, with coffee, sighted off the Isle of Wight after a voyage with only two deaths, and mentions Captain Worths crew. Royal audiences include Duncan with Prince of Wales and introductions to Amelia and Caroline, amid plans for Westminster Abbey funding. Also covered are a High Court of Chivalry delay, palace improvements at Somerset House, a marriage in Surrey, a murder by three horsemen, robberies at Bromley and Ditch-Side, plus late South Sea and financial prices.
