Sunday Weddings and Murders in an 18th Century Ledger
A London column reports a seaside wedding by Rev Bonney, a prominent elopement inquiry into a tradesman’s daughter, a series of deaths including Mrs Hannah Holbrook and merchants Dottin and Shemelt, plus a brutal alleyway assault near Red Lion Court. An Alderman orders custody for the assailants while a surgeon treats the wounded victim and a widow delivers in the same room. An Admiralty dispatch from Embden notes Zeal in river operations, boat captures, and prisoner handling as ships Seahorse and Strombolo pressure French and Austrian forces.

Privateers seize Embden hostages in naval incident
From Embden a force under De Bertrand and Boufe took three hostages including Eado Wilhelm Zur Michlen, a law doctor and college administrator, and two administrators from Leer, with Michlen wounded but not seriously. The two royal ships prompted the enemy’s sudden evacuation of Embden. Also bankruptcy notice for William Edwards, Bristol merchant tailor.
