Absence leads to theft and crime at London dwellings
A single man's absence prompts his wife or servant to sell liquor to an informer and break a cask. He denounces her and she testifies in court. After a full hearing he is penalized, with advice to seek mitigation. A separate incident reports a fatal accident at a Barnaby Street brewhouse injuring an excise man and a gardener's servant. Elizabeth Hatton and Elizabeth Williams are jailed for pocket picking. Trade and property notices follow about coins exported to Calais and gold to Flanders, plus land lease proposals in Leadenhall Street and Tokenhouse Yard with plan access at Guildhall.
