Death of Rev Dr Savage Master of Emanuel College
The Beginnings of this Week record the death at Cambridge of the Rev Dr Savage Master of Emanuel College and Rector of St Anne’s Black-fryars. He died after a fall from his horse about ten days ago during an epileptic fit. Also noted are criminal trials at Abingdon, Brentford, and Reading, including robberies, arson at Maidenhead, and transportation verdicts. A cabinet council in London heard sentencing for seven Newgate prisoners with executions planned and details of a perilous crime spree. The piece closes with a surgical operation at Epsom on a child, sugar crop failures in the West Indies, and financial market notices.
