Warminster Sessions Chronicle of a Disorderly House Case
Yesterday the Quarter Sessions for the City and Liberty of Warminster heard The Kine v. Thomas Atkins and another. The indictment charged keeping a body house and an ill governed house. The couple lived in Edmund's Court Princes Street with six to eight prostitutes as lodgers.

Horrid murder in Lancaster area shocks readers
Accounts from America report a brutal June murder near Lebanon Lancaster. A German man killed by a Cranpoter named assailant who entered at night, struck him with an axe, and cut his throat. The crime occurred on a second floor, with the killer attempting to murder the two sisters on the first floor. One sister resisted, the candle went out, and the axe was dropped as the intruder fled, leaving behind weapon and cords. The deceased was soon to marry. In Richmond a mother’s neglect leads to a fire that burns an infant to death, while two siblings are seriously burned but recover. A Salisbury Square man fends off two robbers with help from nearby residents. Parish watch is urged for St Bride during dark evenings.
