Murder Trial and Local Disturbances in Early London
Reports from a royal court detail the trial of a Marquis for wilful murder after his servant was found stabbed during a day of pursuit in the street. Other cases include a nurse acquitted for starving children, a posse of sons storming their father’s house, and military involvement. Public notices and sales ads fill the pages alongside gardening books and catalogues.
