Farewell to appointments and races in a crowded London week
The king appointed Fenwick Dormer and Liys to captaincies in Brigadier Handyside's Regiment and noted other honors. John Horfie, Thomas Jackson, and James Honywood received royal acknowledgments for promotions. A Draper wedding and a November race card feature alongside news of legal serjeants, plans for a term call, a Guinea race at Epsom Downs, and a dramatic murder inquiry involving Henry Fisher/Durnesford linked to Hare Court. A frail gentlewoman near St. Thomas's Hospital and a funeral procession are also described.
