The body was badly decomposed and offensive smelling, leading bystanders to inter it at Black Rocks as sea level receded. Port news items follow with arrivals and sailings at Poole Cowes Deal and other ports.
A lengthy London summary recalls yesterday’s levee at St James’s and a Privy Council meeting attended by notable figures including the Duke of Cumberland and the Prince of Brunswick.
