Execution Order At Newgate And Burford Races
An Order for the execution of Walter Kennedy, a pirate, was issued at Newgate. Reports from Hicks's Hall note Thomas Gladwin's three months hard labour for assaulting Lord Carteret and his servants. Details cover Sir Edmund Bacon's death, Dr Waterland’s appointment, and naval updates including the Northumberland launch. Public reelings include trials at the Old Bailey with multiple convicts for robbery, murder, and theft, plus forthcoming horse races at Burford with purse prizes and entry rules.
