A seizure of 500 lb of stolen tobacco occurred at Houséin Moorhields by Custom-House Surveyors. In Essex a farmer’s house was broken into. two men were sent to Chelmsford Gaol for torture and robbery, while a Worcester coach robbery near Ealing was foiled and the suspect taken to Newgate. International dispatches mention Jamaica, Cadiz, Corsica, and political maneuvering among Britain, Spain, and the Dutch States General with debates on alliances and peace efforts.
