Anecdote of a bishop and the Creed omission
The General Fre Ning Post recalls an anecdote about a bishop known for long acquaintance and frequent dinners. On a Sunday during the American Creed reading, the bishop’s guest omitted the Nicene Creed unintentionally. The bishop forgave the lapse, expressing indifference to the omission and urging clergy to decide freely on usage, aligning with Clarke and Whitton’s view.

The Turk and the Murder at Mr Herbys Estate
A trader named Achmet, posing as Mr Herby, used multiple mistresses in England. He faced jealousy and threats after a plot to protect his daughters, culminating in May 1734 with his bloody stabbing deaths and the disappearance of Turkish attendants. The jury found willful murder by unknown parties, while authorities linked the crime to intrigues involving the Grand Signior and Bathaw. The event remained hidden in history until now.
