Worcester Election Committee Hearing Reveals Constable Row
The Worcester Select Committee heard evidence on the constable appointment portion of the case. Bermsre, a leftist ally of Sir Watkin, listed 186 constable names, provoking mirth as he deftly answered cross examination. He described a riot at the polls blaming Rous and Walsh constables, noted the MPs were housed after leaving the hustings, and a melee ensued as supporters escorted Sir Watkin to lodgings. He used the nickname Cape Stirabout. The session adjourned as Mr Harding projected a six to ten day timeline to finish the weight of the case.

Patriot Letters and Dramatic Tale From Ancient Times
A fragmentary 18th century letter mocks British rule with fervent calls for American independence, denouncing Parliament and taxes while planning further resistance. It is paired with a theater notice about La Vestale at the King's Theatre, recounting the plot of a doomed romance between Aemilia and Celer amid imperial intrigue.
Amilia and Amilia's Fate in a Vestal Tragedy
A discussion of a dramatic opera in which Domitian condemns two lovers to death. Panaria and the Vestal Tutoress urge consultation of the Oracle whose answer is ambiguous. Amilia pleads innocence as Venus and Cupid intervene, saving the lovers in a miraculous finale. The piece adapts Seneca and Suetonius while aiming for an original English Serius Opera.

Anecdote of King George the Frugivorous Monarch
