From Maidstone and Paris reports come word of a city gate fire destroying barns and harvest, a rock collapse near Soissons injuring none but two old men, and a wave of robberies near Kent with prisoners, drownings, and postman robbery. Public scare over lights leads to street association actions. Old Bailey trials result in one capital conviction and several transports as crime surges.
