Odd London broadside item at the Oratory and local notices
A sprawling 18th century page lists a Wednesday March 17 showing of a Spanish Rogue at the Oratory near Clarve-market with period notices on theater, while news at Chelmsford, Cork, and Dublin recounts executions, riots, ship misfortunes, and hunger riots. It notes Mourning for the Elector of Trier, royal visits, translations, and a murder acquittal.
