In London a December letter notes Cardinal Fleury’s discussions with the King on dispatches from Rome Madrid and London. The King seeks neutrality between Spain and Great Britain and urges other powers to follow, with secret orders to the Marquess de Fénelon. Reports also speak of a great court battle over Spain’s support for the king and cautious preparations across the kingdom. East India Company directors announce eleven ships joined by five earlier ships, bringing total ships employed in this year’s trade. The Old Bailey heard two capitally convicted prisoners, Susannah Broom and William Barkwith, and eleven transported others, while leather goods and linens trade updates and smuggling concerns noted. A Dublin shipment from the Success arrives with 426,795 yards of Irish linen, and a wreck report from Pontefract notes a 200-ton ship ashore with cargo largely salvaged.
