Royal mercy granted amid European tensions and local thefts
The Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and the Count of Lippe-Bückeburg are spared two months, with harsher fate after that if Prussia-ally action shifts in Saxony. A Dutch ship from St Eustatia seized by Elizabeth Sloper and a Letter of Marque from Bristol taken to Cork. The Princess Amelia sailing Halifax to South Carolina left at Cape Hatteras. A highwayman nabbed in Fleet Lane by Fielding's men after a prior pursuit. Weekly casualties, burials and various public notes follow, including bread prices and weight standards for October 1758 in London.
