Juke'a parish man found dead in Rotten-row inquest
Reports say a man hanged himself and the coroner's inquest began that evening. A burglary on Ramford Road left fifty pounds worth of goods stolen from Mr. Sice's shop. Nearby, whites from Count Janes of Liverpool escaped across the coast of Africa to Annamabee after a clash. Several ships, including the Dolphin and Fox, arrived or departed, with imports and exports extensive for the region. Wind S to SE, calm Downs, arrivals from South Carolina and Jamaica noted.
