Yesterday the King attended services at the Chapel Royal and offered purses of gold. A grand court assembly followed with Knights in order collars, then a ball for the nobility. Captains Lowe and Buckey left court for voyages to the East, while marriages and deaths touch weary wealth and social life. Reports from Liverpool describe a rich prize taken by a Royal Navy ship, the Constant, with vast cash and cargo from a Caribbean raid. Storms and wrecks off Mountsbay end with local crime and social happenings including a theft at Mr. Cartes’s shop and a stage farce at St Saviour’s drawing mixed public reaction.
