Remarkable Admiralty Court Proceedings and Local Crime Reports
A survey of cases before Sir Henry Penrice at Dodtors Commons includes a Spanish ship taken at the war’s start, restored to Madrid merchants, and a separate claim by Barrow of 4709 dollars. The St Agnetta is condemned as a prize, with shares paid to captors. News notes describe ventilator devices aboard a vessel at the Blandford, stagecoach robberies near Bulmer, and multiple burglaries in Berwick Street, Soho. Further items cover Old Bailey trials, transportations ordered, and reports on South Sea stock movements and market prices.
