Court notices and strange happenings from London society
From Barrington to Lincoln's Inn Fields the Lord Chancellor held a seal in chancery after term. Capt. John Spencer was named lieutenant on the Irish establishment. A London sheriff candidate paid his fine to avoid office. A Bromley Common race favored Dir Richmond's gray gelding Revenge in three heats for thirty guineas. A chimney sweep’s rescue and a fatal fall near Paddington, plus a horseman’s death near Farningham, were reported amid merchant, legal, and criminal word. Elizabeth Thompson’s execution drew stark moral scrutiny amid her notorious life and her mother’s alleged complicity. Reports from Hamburg, Persia, and Genoa described military and diplomatic moves, while a Galley to Corsica and scarce provisions haunted Asaph. A prominent cholera of gossip and court intrigue closed the digest.
