Scene of Robberies and Royal Notices from London
A late 18th century London briefing reports a pond catch of a jackfish near Shelfwell and royal appointments. It notes the unavailability of household troops, ill health of the Earl of Rochford, and a highway robbery on Turnham Green. It also covers arrests for illicit liquor sales, court actions, marriages, and a ship bound for Virginia and Maryland.
