Hat Thefts and Trials Across Amsterdam to Greenwich
From Amsterdam and London reports: a Dutch ministerial hat theft sparking a memorial for satisfaction against a guard, English sailors in Port involved in brawls with cudgels and stones, a Greenwich riot bill of indictment debated by a Grand Jury, and a Lord Chancellor hearing over an estate dispute. Dispatches note a storm at sea between Batavian ships and the Cape of Good Hope, and police actions at Rideau Park with attempted arrests for contraband attire and spy paraphernalia.
