Public Disorder and High Treason Suspects in London
A fragment from a 18th century column notes enslaved guards condemned for desertion at the Savoy and a government response to a Commons address praising loyalty. It also reports the election of Lord Forbes to Parliament for Queensborough, a custody for suspected high treason, and various public notices including silk weavers in Coventry and a man missing near St James's with rewards offered.
