Noteworthy Trades and Trials in Late 18th Century England
A roundup reports Daniel Waite’s death at 42 after a long illness in Smithfield, and Captain Brown departing for Bombay after bidding the India Company directors farewell. It covers a Dunkirk trader’s wine seizure case, a Vintners Clerk mugging, and the Dover to Cadiz privateer captures, with ships Monmouth and Baltimore active near Plymouth and Lifton, plus stock market moves and a lengthy memorandum on Voyages publishing clarifying a decision against abridgments to protect authors and public trust.
