Deserter John Edwards Sought After By Authorities
A London deserter from the royal diamonds regiment, John Edwards of Halle Surrey, described as tall with a round face and dark hair, may wear a wig. He absconded in April, with a reward offered if captured, and notices to report to Francis Bilson in Westram Kent or Bearley in Hungerford Market London. Also advertised are sensational memoirs and a patent remedy sold at the Rose and Crown shop, with warnings about counterfeits.
