Admiral Haddock's last voyage under jeopardy of winds
From the London Evening-Post 1640, notices of naval command moves and dispatches from Madrid to merchants, appointments in Parliament and church offices, a royal dinner at Windsor, and obituaries including the Bishop of Ely and various dignitaries. Names include Haddock, Sir Thomas Robinson, Gough, and Montagu. Details mention the Mediterranean squadron, court communications, and civic appointments with dates and places across London, Edinburgh, and Northamptonshire. The piece also records a minor mob incident in Covent Garden involving distilleries and the Westminster constabulary.
