Public notice of trials and piracy tied to Newgate and French privateering
An excerpted 18th century report details Lord Mayor oversight of 104 crew members aboard the Ant. Butarivateer at Newgate. It mentions Griffith the block-maker, Kelly the privateer, and executions or examinations before the Lord Mayor. The text also references visits by friends, a supply request to France, and various criminal proceedings, while noting broader naval and political concerns of the time.
