Dublin honors late Doct Lucas with funeral procession
A private letter reports that the funeral obsequies of the celebrated Doctor Lucas were attended in Dublin with many marks of distinction. The Lord Mayor Aldermen and the entire Corporation followed in solemn form, the Provost of Trinity College and the Speaker of the House of Commons also paying tribute. Citizens threaten that any candidate giving an entertainment will be seen as corrupt, and many electors have urged Doctor Clements to stand for Lucas’s seat, offering to cover election costs. A great lady in Pall Mall reportedly sustains herself on broth, while others fear recovery. The Duke of Gloucester's return is sought to avoid a meeting with the Duke of Cumberland, whom Lucas distrusted. The Princess Amelia allegedly left the Duke of Cumberland well provided in her will, though details fade.
