Christ's Hospital pupils move to Bishopsgate and Newgate streets
An account notes eighty boys and twenty girls from Christ's Hospital arriving by waggons from Ware and Hertford to Bishopsgate and Newgate streets, with plans to send another group to schools at the same places. A Court of Honour at the College of Arms debated arms disputes involving Mr Radburn and Sir John Blunt. A fatal house fire in Upper Deptford claimed a confined woman. A naval letter from Captain Willey via Alican recounts Franco-British diplomacy over an embassy and a ship cargo dispute. Reports from Gorey and Raspath mention local suicides and a brutal family tragedy. Notices advertise a Dawson Street house lease and Prideaux churchwarden directions.
