London News Roundup on War, Prisons, and Public Welfare
Late night dispatches from London recount rumors of French actions in the Low Countries, with authorities seeking Bourdenaye the French admiral.

Local benevolence notes urge urban cleansing and employments for the poor, while robberies near Audley-Chapel draw concern. Market quotes and ship movements fill the rest of the column.
