Marriages and events fill a busy society page

Other nuptials list Sir Henry Gough’s sister, Henry Every’s heir, and Nicholas Corfellis’s marriage to Miss Child. Election results for Ely’s Arch Deaconry follow, with four candidates, Perkins and Walker elected. Obituaries note Rev Edward Cooke and Mr Richard Peale. Also reported are ship arrivals, a Cork gale incident, highway robbery in Essex, Old Bailey trials, a murder verdict in Clement’s Inn, a cricket match in Kent interrupted by rain, and market prices and stocks in a late news wrap.
