King’s flag-hunt adventure and parish misrule lament
The King and nobles joined a flag-hunting diversion on Ascot Heath that lasted about three hours ending near Breagwick after a deer was chased from Bagshot to Windsor Great Park. Meanwhile militia units left Dover Castle for Aslford barracks and East Sussex arrived in the cattle. Saturday night saw mobs of soldiers and others forcing residents to light houses, breaking windows in multiple streets and threatening a tradesman near Upper Brook Street. Widespread inaction by civil and military authorities accompanied this violence. A man named Wisdom was convicted at Maidstone Sessions for an attempted assault on Eleanor Brown, with a contested alibi. A Rev Frederick Freeman died after being struck by a carriage rider near Loughborough. Thomas Brown of Horncastle was interred with six sons bearing him to the grave as per his will. It is noted with sorrow that nine people in Norfolk and Suffolk have recently destroyed themselves over jealousy or love.
