Stock Tea Case and Maritime Notes From 1739
A late 1739 Dublin excerpt reports a tea stock dispute where a broker’s plea of tare allowances led to the information being dismissed. It notes a Copenhagen bound vessel near Mal strand, a large Britany coast ship from St Domingo to Bordeaux with sugar, cotton, coffee, and indigo plus gold and silver. It also mentions nobility, appointments, a prize in a Bridge Lottery, a Jamaica vessel seizure, and a church ordination. The excerpt lists deaths, estates, and Exchequer orders for land auction in Meath and Kildare.
