Court News and Merchant Affairs From London and Abroad
A late 18th century London sheet reports on the Swedish trade dispute with imposed duties, a potential shift to Russian conquests for iron imports, and a poll tax issue for Gottenburg. It notes the Duke of Lorraine's voyage to Holland, a Chatham entertainment aboard the Royal Sovereign, and legal motions in Michaelmas term about a recognizance and libel cases. It also covers the Charity Corporation disputes with Thomson’s warehouse goods, possible peerages for Sir Charles Wager and John Jemmins, and Spanish-British troop payments plus a successful Seville packet.
