Britain admits incendiary role in Portsmouth attack
Reading dispatches report Britain acknowledges involvement in the Portsmouth dockyard arson case while denying knowledge of Dudley and remaining silent on fire specifics. He claims to have been involved in other villainies and recalls a 1770 Hyde Park shooting plan that failed when a pistol misfired. A Serjeant of the 67th Regiment is killed in a fall from a machine roof near Newbery and Hungerford while returning from Devizes. Liverpool adds: a shooting near Melling chapel leaves a man wounded but not fatally, though life is not in danger.
