War At Sea and Court: Lisbon Fleet Embarked and Trials at Home
Reports from Falmouth and Plymouth detail naval actions and trade disruption due to war. Admiral Baker’s squadron near Lisbon returns with gold and weather-damaged ships, while Britain mourns the Duke of Hamilton as inquests find wilful murder by Lord Mohun, Major General Mackartney, and Colonel Hamilton. Stock markets show South Sea gains as advertisements note auctions and lost goods in London.
