Veet and great estate claims amid rising wheat prices
The document reports a claim by Her Grace over part of the late Duke's estate, amounting to thirty four thousand pistoles, with restitution from a night of fortune. Wheat imports to foreign parts push prices higher as 160 vessels wait to load at river ports. Lisbon reports British vessels captured by Sallee cruisers and recaptured. Dublin sees a violent storm causing damage and loss of life, while the city orders guards to protect a ship from plunder. A prison relief note confirms worsening conditions for Marshalsea inmates, with Bread allowances rising from 30 to 61 inmates served daily.
