Murder, Robbery, and Executions Highlight Kent News

Fat on the Body and a verdict of Bilful Murder lead a London page full of sensational crime. Reports recount break ins at Bromley Kent and Sundrish near Sevenoaks, a fatal blow on Blackheath, and a grocer’s servant whipped in Fenchurch Street. The Recorder lists eleven condemned men to be executed next Friday, with additional burglaries, smuggling, and transportations. Society notices include weddings at St Peter’s Cornhill and Ratcliffe, a £6001 bequest to London Hospital from Mr Shipley, and obituaries of notable locals including a Downing Street official and a major in the City Trained Bands.
