The Kenmure Case and Glum Rebellion Remarks
The document recounts Lord Kenmure's plea to the Lords before his execution over a rebellion, with his expressed repentance and requests for mercy to spare his wife and four children. It also notes a mob on Tower Hill and reports from Chester of rebel prisoners escaping, plus a 1715 Madrid treaty context between Britain and Spain outlining trade terms and mutual duties.
