Stockholm envoy and MP news amid a busy 1720 page
Yesterday Count Teffin arrived from Stockholm to notify the Swedish king’s accession and to seek audience. William Pitt was chosen MP for Bridgwater, replacing the late Mr. Doddington. Sir Henry Oxendon is dead. Rob. Clark, stamp duties receiver in the north, fled with the king’s money to Rotterdam and is being sent to London with three messengers. Stock prices and burials are listed, with numerous adverts for medical books, insurance, and publications, and notices of missing horse and vagrant cases.
