Marriages and trials in a bustling London week
Last Monday Richard Manning, an eminent Hambourg merchant, wed Mrs. Goodwin at the New Chapel Westminster. Government officials and fast-moving trials unfold with robberies, executions, and transportation sentences for Wreathock, Chamberlain, Ruffhead, Bird, Campbell, Refue, Mackney, and Alder. Reports from Bridgwater, Chichester, and Edinburgh cover crime, finance, and international affairs amid market notes and South Sea Company elections.
