Death and Funeral Notices Across London and Paris
Paris dispatch reports royal attendance at the Duke of Orlean's death and the distribution of a royal cortege to Val-de Grace, with plans to move to St Denis. London notes Sir Hopton Williams’s death, several capital crimes verdicts at the Old Bailey, church sermons for charity, and a sequence of financial prices and public notices including a fire extinguisher patent promotion, political nominating meetings, stage performances, and a large market sale at the King’s Arms Tavern with items from Leonard Knight’s collection. Local items include losses, auctions, and entertainment ads with multiple dates around December 1723.
