Treason Trials and Executions Noted in Westminster and Hereford
Eyewitness reports detail rewards for constable Pont and confessions from Marsh and Marshal before execution. The crowd gathers at the gallows as the 28 foot gibbet towers. Additional trials at Hereford include burglary and highway robbery. Morgans and others are executed, while several others await trial. News covers the Westminster bridge plan, Hyde Park palace, horse shipments to Dover for France, and an organist election in Spitalfields. A Paris peace topic and a Winchester fire at a college Fellow's servant room close the item.
