London Curious Dispute and Naval Recollections 1749
A London letter reports on a Cambridge university incident over a June gathering at Trinity Hall with rusticated students after a Stirrup Cup incident. It also notes a pensioned officer’s death and a stock of foreign news from Stockholm and Algiers. The piece recounts Sir Cloudesly Shovel and Sir John Narborough’s actions against Barbary corsairs, detailing attacks on Tripoli in the Mediterranean and resulting treaties. It closes with notices of local deaths, marriages, and the Leinster Summer Assizes schedule for 1749.
