Court Delivers Discharges and Clerical Appointments in London
A Thursday Bridewell court saw several criminals continued while others discharged. Bowdler and Jennings, governors of Bethlem and the hospital, were charged. The Beadles were replaced and a porter’s mate was elected. Obits note Mrs. Mapp, bone setter, and Mrs. Elizabeth Jeffop, widow of the late Rev. Jeffop. Ayliffe, a royal Turner, died at Newport Street. The report covers excise matters, vinegar penalties, and ship news from Cherbourg, with political dispatches from Madrid, Amsterdam, and The Hague on fleets, treaties, and court intrigues.
