Noting of Trade and Trials in London and Abroad
A dense London letter notes Mr Toon becoming Beadle of the Cloth workers Company for 1501 per year and reports clothiers seeking a law to curb wool exports to France. It covers indictments at the Old Bailey, a Tottenham boarding school fire, a perjury case, marriages, port news from Philadelphia and Naples, and military and naval items from Ostend to Jamaica with merchant losses and prize reports.
