Notice of Goods Return and Cocking Schedule
A noisy notice warns Cranbrook residents to return goods seized from William Marthman, with stakes of 6 and 100 guineas described for a cocking match in Woodstock and Wakefield. It also reports Elizabeth Walker of Monmouth eloping, urging creditors to withhold payment, and lists contemporary pamphlets and cantatas for sale in London shops.
