Robberies in Gravesend and Privateer News From Jamaica
Yesterday morning two highwaymen robbed Mr. Harrison and another Grim Gentleman of Gravesend near the road to town, fleeing with their moiety after taking the finances in Charlton and Plumstead. Reports from Waterford note Spanish privateers capturing ships near Jamaica and five privateers infesting the Conifits between them and South Carolina, with prizes taken including large ships bound for Virginia and American sloops. Market and commodity listings follow, including raw silk, oils, oats, whale fins, rum, iron, gunpowder, and price movements in South Sea stock and various bonds, with mixed bank and insurance prices.
