Riot verdicts and local incidents in Westminster
The jury found Clarke guilty of riot and convicted James Lee Miles and Aldus of conspiracy after a brief deliberation. A fire in Westminster destroyed an empty house and damaged an alehouse, caused by improvised glue heating. A Guildhall court heard a girl reveal her mother coerced theft from her master’s till, with the girl spared prosecution. Married announcements from St. Peter’s and Cornhill, and obituaries for Scottish officials follow. A colonial and political debate continues over taxation and rebellion, with strong language on royal prerogative and parliamentary supremacy.
