Nightly Return of Sir Robert Walpole and Miscellaneous Courant Items
Nightly mentions Sir Robert Walpole arriving from Houghton Hall with distinction. The dispersion of seals grants Burrough a rectory and vicarage. Goupy becomes Painter and Surveyor to the Prince of Wales. Several crime, transport, and public notices follow, including robberies, assaults, sheriff nominations, and parliamentary proclamations. Reports from Lisbon and Madrid discuss duels, trade, and potential peace. Letters note scientific progress and European diplomacy.
