Turbulent European Drama and Turkish Gout Cure Tale
A dated voice muses on Rhine campaigns and court intrigues with Walpole’s envoys and Stanislaus. It relays a Venetian tale of a gout afflicted Turkish governor in Corinth who converts to Christianity after a priest’s miracle, then flees to Venice leaving wealth behind. It ends by questioning whether faith or wine causes gout and if a Turk’s complaint proves broader truths.

Election of Sheriff in Norwich Ends With James Nafmith Victory
Norwich August 31 Last Tuesday freemen chose James Nafmith as sheriff with 1136 votes against William Lovick 928. The next day about 120 o’clock William Morris was carried from the city gaol to the execution site. He joined in prayers and sang a psalm, shed his clothes, faced the ladder in a shroud, read prayers, begged God for pardon, and claimed no confession, citing past robberies and naming accomplices as witnesses. He then prepared for execution awaiting London transfer.
