Death Sentences and Robbery Adverts in 18th Century Ledger

Last Saturday the Sessions ended at the Qld Baily with 17 persons sentenced to death, eight burnt in the hand, and 38 ordered for transportation. Six women pleaded pregnancy, but the jury deferred three sentences to the next sessions. The notice corrects a misidentification of a Johnson acquaintance and reports stock prices and various advertisements for medicines, books, and estate sales. The document also lists stock quotes for Bank, India, Africa, and Royal Exchange Affurance, plus various public notices and sales at auction houses in London and parish notices for pensions and charity.
