Court talk and auctions and a baronial title in 1724
A fragment from a 1724 newspaper notes a court talk on the Spain affair being settled to mutual satisfaction. It reports auctions of Sir Lambert Blackwell’s Norfolk copyhold lands, a likely Irish peerage for Joseph Micklethwait, royal celebrations at Kensington, Windsor feasts with 300 dishes, Garter order remarks, and naval fortifications tours by General Wills and others. Also mentions clergy appointments, the Woodburn fire losses, and a Dublin ship list with arrivals and sailings along with a lucrative publishing list ending with plant cultivation and Hebrew antiquities volumes.
