Men of Spirits Guard Trade and Public Order Across Britain
In a period of national concern for trade and security, the piece notes brave men defending commerce against losses and urges proper encouragement. It reports clerical appointments, noble appointments to cavalry commands in Ireland, and the Earl of Kinnoul returning from the Ottoman Porte to Paris. It also records thefts from houses in Southampton Buildings and from Counsellor Reynolds’s residence, with lamps burning over both doors. Cambridge reports a legal challenge to distillers power, and transportation-era punishments continue as prisoners are examined and sent to the plantations in America. Tonight's London theater listings and a high tide time at London Bridge accompany the long-winded update.
