Parliament Prorogued as Global Turmoil Grows Amid Thunder Deaths
The piece relays prorogation of both Houses at Westminster to October, diplomatic talks with France and the Dutch Republic over Juliers Bergues and treaty terms, and notes incidents from Hanover to London including a fatal lightning strike at Walton and a mob attack in Holborn with a cutler among the crowd. It mentions Handel's health trip to Bath, Col. John Thomas named as Philadelphia lieutenant governor, and local charity bequests by Sir Gerard Conyers.
