Court at Bridewell and Public Notices from London
Yesterday a Court at Bridewell admitted thirty to forty new governors and hosted an entertainment for officials at Cahuac's in Finch Lane. The Lord Chancellor announced seal calendars, appointments filled at Middlesex Hospital, and various military and clerical changes. Reports include sailings from Antigua and Jamaica, a fatality of a peruke-maker, street assaults near Covent Garden, a post-boy robbery, Newgate commitments for stockings theft, and multiple high society marriages and deaths.
