Old Bailey perjury and highwaymen in 18th century London
Reports from the Old Bailey describe a sentencing in the pillory for wilful perjury in a will case related to Mr Hutchinsor, while notes on a marriage treaty proposal between Bowater Vernon and Mrs Cornwallis surface. Court of Directors of the South Sea Company announce a 2 million remittance and knighthood for Mr Hopkins, withほ news of noble promotions and arrests of Cochran of Kilmaroneck and Smith. Police warn of robberies. Blueskin and Parkis captured. Milkrop, a transported felon, seized in Fig-Lane and jailed at Newgate. Lottery results, stock prices, and burials follow. Advertisements list horse races and betting plates at Melton, Crosby, Maidenhead, and other towns, plus religious and legal books for sale.
