Deaths and Arrivals From Scilly to Sussex Parliaments
A long snippet reports Capt John Curzon’s death on the Bloody Flux aboard the Island of Scilly, the Duke of Argyle controlling disposal, and a value of 300 per annum. It notes deaths of Tempest Thornton of Wakefield, Mr Bellamy of Scratford, Lacon Scot of New Bond Street, and Rev Mr Askew of Westminster and Chigwell. Royal progress of the Prince and Princess of Orange from Amsterdam to Friefland with public honors, a safe arrival of the Harrington shipping line, horse racing results at Epsom, and a false report about Capt William Aiflabie. Elections across Gloucester, Newcastle, Haverford West, Chichester, and Sussex are listed with vote tallies and declared winners. Financial markets close with South Sea stock and annuities prices.
