Death and Inheritance At Salisoury Court London Fraud Probed
A widow Mrs. Mary Hammond of Green Dragon Tavern fame dies at Salisoury Court Fleet-street leaving 1300 in notes and gold hidden on her person. Heir at law Mr. Jes. Tilly demands an inventory as guards witness the theft of riches. The tale extends to a hangers-on and a burning of a poisoner in Derbyshire views. Letters from Petersbourg speak of war and peace talks. Naples reports political shifts. Florence and Paris gossip swirl around births, mines, and nobility.
