Petition From Charles Town Inhabitants On War Preparations
Excellency James Glen and Captain General receive a humble petition from Charles Town inhabitants warning that war between Britain and France endangers the province. They note Charles Town as a key fortress and harbour with his majesty supplying stores, yet fortifications remain incomplete and potentially vulnerable to Spanish forces from Havana and St. Augustine amid French influence.

Execution of three men at Newcastle for counterfeiting and horse stealing
In Newcastle on the previous Saturday morning James Maben was hanged for counterfeiting the current coin of Great Britain, John Samuel for aiding Maben, and Thomas Lidster for horse stealing. Maben, long noted for an unreligious life, died bravely but later professed belief in God and a future life, arguing even the wicked may face temporal punishment rather than eternal torment.
