No more Councils at the Cockpit and a pension for German Pages
The Crown will hold future Councils at St James's by royal order. His Majesty grants an annual pension of one hundred guineas to the late King's German Pages until Hanoverian succession. Several ships are captured or damaged, including the Angelique Privateer and the Aberdeen Packet, with crews lost at sea. Lottery schemes face public backlash as subscribers withdraw amid rising ticket prices. Royal appointments and deaths are noted, including Lord George Murray and others linked to the era's events.
