Yegieres to the Poor and Alderman Election News
Yegieres bequests to parishes and to a daughter, with 20,008 to a housekeeper. Mr. Ladbroke tipped as Alderman without opposition. Wards require candidates to swear against pensions or paid votes, first such oath likely in Castle-eynard. Admiralty dispatches arrive. French and Spanish fleets move. Barbadoes and Antigua news include deaths and ship losses. Midweek notices on officers and weather, plus London stock market snippets and a New Year ode.
