Royal Bounty to Church of Scotland and War Talk in Parliament
A fragment from a 18th century gazette reports Hefty granting a thousand-pound annual bounty to the Church of Scotland amid reform plans. It notes military dismissals, a Bank of England interest payment, and a proposed 3 per cent funds reduction. Also mentioned are royal appointments, marriage intrigues, Polish and Croatian affairs, and local Dublin events including deaths and a street shooting.
