Court of King's Bench Fab 14 HEEIN G v Lord Falkland
The court heard Mr King’s rule to discharge recognizances and attachments taken against him for unpaid bills. Lord Kenyon questioned whether all Bills in Equity were dismissed and whether costs were paid, noting the court’s lack of jurisdiction otherwise. A habeas corpus case showed a debt of 36 pounds, raising suspicion of double execution, and Lord Kerrow urged a satisfactory explanation.

Primate Correspondence From Hamburg January Event Notes
The letter from Hamburg reports Austrian operations for Mantua relief with claimed gains on the 13th and 15th, though Vienna lacked confirmation by the 18th. Near Huningaen Austrian efforts aim to reduce a bridgehead while the Prince of Corps prepares an assault at Mannheim. In Mentz, the Preachers retreat to defensive entrenchments at Hundfruck as Louis XVI's death is marked. Danish notification about Queen Dowager of Denmark’s death is deemed nonstandard. Tuscany’s Grand Duke allegedly offers funds to withdraw Republican troops, pending confirmation. Russian letters state the Emperor has voided a law allowing women to sit on the throne.
