Goldsmith Hopkins Not the Certain Goldsmith in Fleet Street
A row over a newspaper claim that a Fleet Street goldsmith bought stolen plate. The piece asserts Mr John Hopkins did not buy any stolen items and warns against branding him. It notes officers report strong recruitment in counties, cites trade decline in woollen manufacture, and mentions two clerical appointments. A hogshead incident injures a porter at Wigan's Key. Nebworth murders of Mrs Woodland and her son are reported as under investigation. Michael Carty jailed for highway assault on Gilped Nelbams near Highgate.
