Silver Decanter Seized in Theft at Great Horsgood
A thief purloined a large 45 ounce silver decanter from the House of Richard Barkers in Great Horsgood, with a detailed maker’s mark and family arms. A reward is offered for information leading to the capture of the culprits, with notices to Barker or Richard Williams, goldsmith. The item is described in archaic terms amid an 18th century catalog of books and proclamations.
