London and court appointments amid royal recognitions
Yesterday in London multiple high appointments were announced. Sir Richard Rigty arrived from Suffolk while rumors insist the Earl Temple may be made a duke. Serjeant Hewitt joined the King’s Bench, Sir James Gray became ambassador to Spain, and Lord Cardross secretary to the embassy. Also sworn in were Mr. Fletcher as High Bailiff and Mr. Clarke as Assistant Burgess for Westminster. A woollen-draper offered to sell wheat to the poor at 5s per bushel.
