Deal and Dover sailing incident and court note in May
Reports from Deal describe a brigantine from Lisbon that entered the Godwin Sands near Dover, was refloated by Deal boats, then returned to Dover. A dead man was recovered at sea with coins in his pocket. The piece also records a 1723 stock table and an entertainment schedule at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and notices for auctions, sales, and public notices in London.
