Notable Obituaries and Court Proceedings Mentioned
A fragmentary 18th century notice reports on the death of aged 79 Right Hon Henry Lori Wiloghey of Parham and a range of court actions. It includes a trepaning case about a tradesman’s daughter, a slave-ship murder acquittal, piracy indictments, and several marriages and a death in Ave Maria Jane. The piece references Lord Mansfeld and Lord Chief Baron Seay and notes hearings at Hertford Chelmsford Maidstone Lewes Croydon plus a flighty shipboard dispute over provisioning and a delivery of bread and flour from Newfoundland.
