An aged dispatch from Madrid reports on ship arrivals in Cadiz and a royal edict laying a 20 percent tax on certain goods, while grain prices rise. It notes Dutch provincial demands on officer ranks, tensions with Orange, and strategic moves to counter Spanish depredations in America, with warrants for measures against Turks and Kremlins.
A fragment from 1737 describes a notice offering two guineas for information leading to the capture of a stolen Liver colored and white bulldog with fleas and a pendulum tail. It mentions a court case before the Directors of the Baf-Anidia Company and a summons at the Crass-Keys in Maxgate Street. The text references locations in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Works-worth with contact for Mr. Theeke.
A public notice from Hamp Shire warns that a suspected cheat named Bron sy undercooks honest employment and reminds residents that debtors to Mr John Hayward of Holborn Bridge must pay by a deadline. Legal actions threaten if accounts are not settled and property at Holborn Bridge has undergone improvements. The notice also lists creditors and requires claims to be brought for satisfaction. A later decree sets a March deadline for Thomas Percy estate creditors to file claims with court orders to avoid exclusion.
A cryptic fragment mentions an inquiry into the murder of Captain Ye and a noted concern raised by the attorney general. The text appears as a historical shorthand with unclear names and partial phrases preserved from an old newspaper page.
