Public Bills and Arranged Marriages in Early 18th Century News
The column lists acts for royal aid and duties, commissions to Thomas Lome, imports to Ireland from America, and various private bills. It notes engagements of Lord Peters and Miss Ratcliff, nuptials of Mr. Houghton and Miss Phillips, and Count Irbury's arrival to claim his Lady s estate. Also mentions Lord Hobart’s Cornwall voyage, a governor election in Ragland, Newmarket races, and a proposal to revive woollen manufacture via Irish aid. Reports on global events, court appointments, and early economic schemes follow, including the East India Company’s ties with Portugal and concerns of revenue defrauding, with Dublin and Antrim notices of infant murders.
