Public Royal Dining Plans and Seaside Shipping Incidents
After Christmas a plan is arranged for royal dining in public every Thursday and for a weekly drawing room, recalling Queen Caroline's era. Prince Poniatowski settles in Pall Mall, Jeremiah Dyson recovers from illness, and John Morton becomes Deputy High Steward of Oxford. The Nancy and Stooke ships suffer damage. the Triton is ashore off France. Lamps rise on St George's Obelisk. A Covent Garden quarrel leaves Macklin with a swollen eye. A doctor loses income after a Naples death, a man drinks a butt in 14 days, and a boy dies at a Wakefield football crowd. A Marybone man deliriously leaps from stairs to death. A shop-to-shop picker offers a bad five-and-three-penny.
