Impudent Owl Parade and Mixed London Courtroom Notes
A gray owl with a band dismays passers by before Lancaster Court. The day features a Weavers Club demurrer against Sutien the landlord over 301, a court finding clubs unfit to sue, and a Mandamus case deferred. Reports of elections, prison news, and Georgian colonies follow, including Darien and Savannah developments, regimental musters, and notable ship actions.
