Racing and legal notices from a busy week
The week featured horse races at Huntingdon with Top and Cartouch. Crab and Bumper won additional purses while Conqueror carried the Friday purse. A royal commissioner's fall at Belfond and several notable deaths and legal sentences were reported, including Malden MP Colonel Bladen hurt, and Thomas Perry’s death and estate moves. Public-morals and crime items covered trials, transportation sentences, and shipboard gold discoveries, with multiple city and county notices and international dispatches from Petersburgh and Madrid.
