All in the Wrong reviewed at Drury Lane theatre
The piece All in the Wrong by Murphy is praised for exposing jealousy in men and women, with strong acting by King and Abington elevating the performance. Critics note Yates and Mrs. Yates falter, while Belinda and Beverly gain from the cast changes, and they contemplate a fanciful Wing discourse as speculative satire.

Flying as a social boon in eighteenth century satire
A letterless fragment critiques neglect of proposals to ease provisions by promoting a new art of flying. Citing Bishop Wilkins, the writer imagines wings as a future solution, mocking current ministers and diversions while railing at social follies and impediments to progress.

Debate Over Crown Agent for Georgia in Nova Scotia Session
In a House committee session, Bamber Gascoigne presented estimates of imperial expenses including surveys in North America and a special allowance for a Crown Agent in Georgia. Governor Pownal questioned the need for a Georgia agent beyond other colonies, but supporters argued communication with the mother country justified the appointment and its compensation for duties.
