London News Briefs: Court, Ship, Races, and Local Trades
A sequence of notices from London gutter to Greenwich reports John Goddard and others arriving at Pall Mall, a funeral at Twickenham for Alexander Pope's mother, a court case over a marriage contract, and news of Garland ship ashore near Windward Passage. The Enfield cargo from Bencoolen brings pepper and other goods worth 668000 lb, while Oxford Races are slated for August 28. Casualty tallies, weathered entries, and market quotes for South Sea stock, the Bank, and insurance wrap the midweek bulletin. A ring reward offer closes the digest with a London jewelers note.
