Execution and appointments pace through a London miscellany
A broad London column notes the execution sense of removal for political enemies, the transfer of church livings to Rev Reynolds and Lackford, a fatal illness of attorney Sympson, and a House of Lords gallery project, plus election results for Christ's Hospital surgeon and a long list of East India Company directors. It covers tea seizures, a Newgate shoplift, four hangings at Kennington, cargo exports to the Straits, an Atlantic dispatch, and a South Carolina letter on looming privateering and frontier defense.
