Neapolitan alarm over taxes and royal orders in London letter
A Naples report warns that taxes may be raised and noble debts force retirement to country seats. It notes charitable grants by the Duke of Bedford, ongoing parish relief for distressed poor, and a presentation of appointments and civic concerns at St. George and St. Margaret in London. The Grand Jury condemns immorality, vagrancy, lewd conduct, and unsafe streets, urging enforcement of laws and better policing at Moorfields.
