Remarks on Mr Webber Scheme and Woollen Trade Attack
A pamphlet defends a woollen scheme while accusing others of undermining it. Letters from Shrewsbury note a mysterious throat-cut incident. News from Jamaica reports fleet movements under Sir Chaloner Ogle and Vernon. Admiralty decisions place Capt. Middleton in command and plan more ships to defend merchantmen. Local elections in Bread Street Ward show contested alderman votes and a push to elect Charles Ewer. Obituaries note several notable deaths including Naffau Pawlet and Thomas Sydenham. Robberies and prison transport updates close the item.
