Marriages and trials mark a turbulent week in Red Lyon
The Marquis of Hartington wed Mrs. Hoskins in Red Lyon Square. At Kington, Affizes sentenced 15 people to death including Joseph Cade and Thomas Nightingale. A grave digger was fined and jailed for body theft. Oade’s sons and the Attorney contest a riot charge for the next Assizes. Sentences, stock prices, and various notices fill the page amid political alerts from Gibraltar and Bristol.
