Westminster Justice Actions Reported Amid Disorder and Trials
A chaotic scene is described with multiple men wounded and detained after a disturbance. Bethune and Arnold are carried to custody, while Mrs. King and her nephew are bailed. Several others, including Anne Morris and Mary James, are examined or convicted for retailing spirits, perjury, or robberies, with notes on Newgate and Bridewell imprisonments. Reports include Capt. Welling’s Jamaica voyage, Spanish privateers near Havana, and political dispatches from the Hague.
