Public complaint on forestalling and licensing abuses

A magistrate from Sten issues a public remonstrance urging enforcement of 16th Henry VIII laws against drovers and sellers who forestall markets. The letter cites neglect in maintaining a register of licences, leading to inflated prices, fewer workers, and rising foreseen abuses. It calls for qualified licenced drovers and a formal register to curb illegal practices and benefit farmers and consumers.

London Officials and Royal Favor Stir London Public

A sprawling London letter discusses Lord Shelburne’s unpopularity with the popular party and his pursuit of pension or office through the Crown’s favor. It notes King George’s stance on funding the Prince of Wales household, public sentiment after St James’s, and a Rome dispatch on the Pretender. It also covers the Durham embankment dispute, Lloyd’s insurance plots, a divorce advisory, and local elections in Sandwich New Romney and Covent Garden.
