Highwaymen Rob Attacks Near Wandsworth and Southwark
An agreeable young Lady with two gentlemen and Mr Vane of Richmond plus Mr Bradford were robbed between Wandsworth and Barnes Common by two highwaymen named Turpin the Butcher and Rowden the Pearler. They seized money and bridles, then rode toward Rochampton. A second attack near Tower Hill saw Josiah Brownhill forcefully relieved of a gold watch, ten guineas, and silver by three footpads. A gin licensing scheme may be proposed at the next Parliament session to curb heavy gin drinking. Prices for corn and provisions are listed, alongside financial market quotes and stock prices for South Sea stock and related securities.
