Fire and theater notices in a dated town column
A chaotic column reports a fire thwarted by water engines with thieves looting during the blaze. It mentions Colonel Ligonier reviewing his regiment, stock prices for various London exchanges, and an advertisement for Beccak's Wepvpline at Fielding's Theatreal Booth with alterations. It also includes medical anecdotes, an offer for a cure from John Moore, and a reward for a green purse found in Bishopsgate with three guineas.
