Thieving mob robs watch and liquor at Battle-bridge
A disorderly mob knocked a man from his horse and stole his watch and money before fleeing toward Battle-bridge. They were pursued by a landlord and others, brought before a justice, confessed, and jailed in Chelmsford. Also noted: Peter Annett’s Royal Exchange pillory appearance and a public notice praising lozenges for coughs once sold in Cornhill now available at Mr. Lees Well Yard.
