From the Levee to a Plymouth gaming tragedy and more
Postscript notes arrivals of Thomas Hutchinson at St James's Levee and a Kentish Society banquet backing Marham and Sawbridge. It reports a Bloomsbury prize smuggler seized with hemp and sheep, revenue seizures on the Deptford road, and a Plymouth betting dare where a man sinks a vessel as a twelve hour depth test. Also mentions Dr Andrews will to Mrs Cholmondeley, Dublin theater news, harsh executions at Tyburn, storms and church damage, a barn fire in Layer-de-la-Haye, and a marriage in Scotland of Lord Elphinstone’s son to Mary Fullerton.
